Medicinal aluminum foil is widely used in medicines in the pharmaceutical industry. It consists of a push-fit blister, a molded plastic with a cavity to hold individual tablets, and a push-fit closure made of aluminum foil (called a blister film or lid film).
Blister packs are made by placing medications inside a blister or blisters of a molded plastic sheet that is then thermally bonded to aluminum foil that is printed and coated with a protective agent and adhesive. Therefore, aluminum foil for blister packaging is also the main aluminum foil in the pharmaceutical field.
We provide various types of pharmaceutical aluminum foil of different standards to the global market.
Benefits of using pharmaceutical aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging
Aluminum foil's unparalleled barrier properties make it impermeable to moisture, aroma, oxygen and other gases as well as microorganisms and light.
health
Aluminum foil is non-toxic and non-hazardous. It does not harbor or promote bacteria. It can be supplied under sterile conditions. Aluminum foil is also suitable for tamper-evident sealing and anti-counterfeiting security applications such as holograms.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Aluminum foil in pharmaceutical packaging has very positive environmental characteristics – it reduces weight, reduces shipping and handling costs, and provides complete protection of sensitive package contents. Advanced separation technology enables aluminum foil from household waste to be recovered and recycled at a fraction of the original energy cost.
Versatility
In the medical and personal care markets, aluminum foil is primarily used in push-fit blisters as a high-barrier, sealable and brittle film. In cold-formed blister or tape packaging such as suppositories, aluminum's excellent formability allows us to form the material into highly complex shapes without compromising its barrier integrity.
