PTP Aluminum Foil for Blister Packaging

Blister packaging is becoming increasingly common for health foods and pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. It's estimated that pharmaceutical blister packaging will account for approximately 60%-70% of future tablet and capsule packaging, making it one of the pharmaceutical packaging materials with promising development prospects.

In practical applications, pharmaceutical PTP aluminum foil is widely used in capsule and tablet packaging. Whether it's common cold and fever-reducing medications or medications for chronic diseases, PTP aluminum foil blister packaging is often used.

In addition, PTP aluminum foil has a certain application in food packaging, such as candy blister packaging, also due to its barrier properties and aesthetics. It can extend the shelf life of candies while enhancing the packaging quality.

The structure of PTP blister foil generally consists of several key components. For example, in a common three-layer structure, the outermost layer is the overcoat (OP), acting like a loyal guardian, effectively protecting against physical damage like scratches and abrasions. It also provides a certain degree of protection against chemical attack, safeguarding the integrity of the internal structure.

The middle layer is the aluminum foil substrate (AL), which is the key to PTP aluminum foil's core performance. Aluminum foil's highly dense metal crystal structure acts as an impenetrable barrier, 100% blocking water vapor, gases, and light, creating a nearly perfect, airtight environment for pharmaceuticals. This is what we provide.

The inner layer is an adhesive (VC), which ensures a tight fit between the aluminum foil and pharmaceutical plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets or other blister packaging materials, creating a secure seal.

Advantages of PTP aluminum foil

1. Excellent barrier properties

This is one of blister pack foil’s most prominent advantages. Due to its unique structure, it effectively blocks the intrusion of moisture, oxygen, UV rays, and other contaminants. PTP aluminum foil ensures that medications maintain consistent quality and efficacy throughout their shelf life.

2. Excellent printability

Clear and accurate information is crucial on pharmaceutical packaging. The outer layer of PTP aluminum foil absorbs printing ink well. Advanced printing technology allows for the clear display of important information such as the drug name, dosage, batch number, and expiration date.

3. Convenient user experience

PTP aluminum foil blister packaging is designed with patient convenience in mind. Blister packaging typically divides medication into individual compartments, each containing a single dose. This design eliminates the risk of contamination from contact with medication in traditional packaging while also allowing patients to accurately determine their dosage.

4. Reliable Anti-Counterfeiting and Anti-Tampering Features

In today's market, pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering are crucial. PTP aluminum foil blister packaging offers certain anti-counterfeiting properties. On the one hand, the printing and processing of aluminum foil are relatively complex, making counterfeiting more difficult. On the other hand, some advanced PTP aluminum foil products incorporate specialized anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as laser holographic patterns and invisible fluorescent anti-counterfeiting.

5. Broad Material Compatibility

PTP aluminum foil is highly compatible with a variety of blister packaging materials, such as PVC, PVDC, and PE. This gives pharmaceutical packaging companies greater flexibility in selecting packaging materials, allowing them to choose the most suitable combination based on factors such as the drug's characteristics, cost budget, and market demand.
