The Pharmaceutical Blister Lidding Foil is used as a lid foil in blister packs for hygienic packaging of pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, pills, capsules and medical devices. This method of packaging ensures that pharmaceutical products meet the required shelf life standard and provide sufficient protection from external influences. Blister lidding foil is sealable to different blister pack substrates such as PVC, PVdC, PET, PP and COLD FORMING Laminate.

A Child resistant Blister Pack is a package which is difficult for young children to open or gaining access to the contents but is not for adults to use properly. The child resistant blister pack has two components namely a base material and lid material. The base material is usually made up of PVC, PET, PP or Cold forming blister laminate whereas the lid material is a laminate having aluminium foil as one of the substrates. The child resistant blister lid foil should provide safety, security and convenience in preventing children from gaining access to the medications.

The Aluminium Strip Foil is used to pack the pharmaceutical products such as tablets, capsules, powders and medical devices which require protection from physical and environmental hazards and also present in a convenient quantity and satisfactory functional form. Generally, two layers of strip foil with the PE film inside and in contact with each other are passed between two electrically heated (thermostatically controlled) knurled or crimping rollers, with cavities conforming to the shape and size of the tablet or capsule or quantity of the powder. The product is fed between the layers of packing material from chutes fed by a hopper. The packed strip coming out of the heat sealing rollers can be divided longitudinally and vertically into strips.

Tropical Blister Foils are used as a shield or cover over the plastic packaging inorder to protect moisture sensitive products against moisture, light/UV rays and oxygen. The Tropical Blister Foil laminate comprises OPA, Aluminium Foil with Heat Sealable Lacquer. Aesthetically designed and developed look of the blister pack makes the tropical foil a special laminate in the pharmaceutical product packing.

COLD FORMING BLISTER FOIL is one product dedicated to pharmaceutical industry manufactured by sandwiching aluminum foil between nylon (oPA) and PVC films using dry bond lamination technology. As blisters are formed in this Nylon / Foil / PVC film laminate by pressing laminate into a mould by a stamp without applying heat, the material is called cold forming blister laminate. The laminate offers a near complete barrier for water and oxygen thereby allowing an extended product expiry date due to higher thickness of the foil present in the laminate. The PVC film in alu-alu laminate is commonly used as the contact layer and seal to layer on pharmaceutical blister (as neutral layer for the goods to be filled). PVC is very stiff and does not tend to shrink or spring during cold forming. Once the cold forming process is complete, the PVC helps the cavity hold its shape. In short it ensures the geometric stability after cold forming. The nylon (oPA) film is mainly responsible for the multi-axial forming. Laminating the aluminum with the oPA film doubles the formability of the foil.

A suppository is a dosage form used to deliver medications by insertion into a body cavity/orifice where it melts or dissolves to exert local or systemic effects. Suppositories are ideal for infants, elderly individuals and post-operative patients, who are unable to swallow oral medications.

Blister packs of suppositories can be made of 2 ply laminates having Aluminium Foil & PE or PVC & PE as two substrates. In both the cases, there is a top and bottom foil and sealing occurs with the PE side. There are two types of required opening convenience namely by tearability or by peelability.

Laminates, when used as a packaging material provide protection to the product during transit, display and consumer storage from shelf loss due to bacterial contamination and physical injury.

The PET film used in the PET-FOIL-POLY laminates not only provides a suitable surface for excellent printing, but also strength to the Aluminium Foil, the other substrate, which is prone to damage during handling. Foil has the best barrier property and is non toxic in nature. The third substrate of the laminate, PE, acts as a sealing medium and ensures the properties required for immediate contact with the packed material.

Plain paper is insufficient for medicinal and food product packing because of poor barrier properties, low heat sealability and strength. So, it is impregnated with some additive or laminated with aluminium and plastic to improve its functional properties. One such most popular paper laminate used in packing pharmaceutical powders, ORS etc is Paper-PE-Foil-PE laminate which is popularly known as 4 ply laminate. The foil content of the laminate gives required barrier property whereas the extruded PE gives flexibility to the laminate.

The Lidding Foil is used as a lid on plastic cups and containers which not only provides perfect closure to the cup but makes it pilfer proof and provides protection from external influences. The low permeation properties of the foil to water vapor and oxygen ensures the required shelf life. The heat seal lacquer used in lidding foil can be made sealable to different cup/jar substrates such as PET, PP, PS, HDPE and PVC. Lidding foil with a universal coating which can seal with multiple substrates is also available.
