Aluminium Foil For Pill Blister Packing

Aluminium foil for pill blister packaging is a specially designed aluminum foil material that is widely used for the safe packaging of pharmaceuticals. Pill blister packaging material usually consists of a layer of aluminum foil laminated with a layer of plastic film and possesses excellent barrier properties, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture, light and oxygen, thus prolonging the shelf life of medicines. The tear resistance and mechanical strength of the aluminum foil ensures the integrity of the package and prevents damage to the tablets during transportation and storage. In addition, pill blister packs are easy for consumers to access and have good sealing to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, making them an indispensable packaging material in the pharmaceutical industry.

8011 aluminum alloy is commonly used in pharmaceutical packaging, with excellent barrier properties and corrosion resistance, suitable for long-term storage of a variety of drugs. The thickness of aluminium foil for pill blister packing is usually between 20μm and 50μm, and the specific choice depends on the packaging requirements. Aluminum foil for pill packaging generally consists of the following layers:

– Aluminum foil layer: provides excellent barrier properties against moisture and oxygen.

– Plastic layer: usually polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyester (PET), which is used to form the blister structure and enhance the sealing and mechanical strength.

– Adhesive layer: Used to bond the aluminum foil to the plastic layer to ensure overall structural stability and integrity.

This structural design enables the pill blister packaging to effectively protect the medicines, extend their shelf life, and at the same time facilitate consumer access.

Characteristics of aluminium foil for pill blister packing including:

– Excellent barrier property: Aluminum foil has excellent barrier property to light, heat, water vapor and gas, which can effectively prevent drugs from moisture, oxidation and deterioration.

– Good sealing: Aluminum foil packaging can form a tight sealing layer to prevent external pollutants from entering and ensure the purity and safety of drugs.

– Good mechanical properties: Aluminum foil has high tensile strength and elongation, which can effectively protect the drugs during transportation.

– Easy processing and molding: Aluminum foil has good plasticity and can be processed into various shapes and sizes to meet the needs of different drug packaging.

Aluminum foil for pill blister packaging is mainly used to make blister packaging of medicines. Blister packaging is a relatively common form in the field of pharmaceutical packaging, also known as blister eye packaging. It is first transparent plastic rigid sheet blister molding, tablets, pills or granules, capsules and other solid medicines filled in the groove, and then with the aluminum foil coated with a drilling agent heated and bonded together to form an independent sealed package. This kind of packaging form has good barrier property as well as good sealing and mechanical properties, which can effectively protect the drugs and at the same time facilitate the display and sale of drugs.

Advantages of using aluminum foil in pill blister packaging are:

– Protecting the quality of medicines: Aluminum foil packaging can effectively isolate the influence of factors such as air, moisture and light on medicines, keep medicines dry and fresh, and prevent them from moisture, oxidation and deterioration.

– Improve drug safety: Aluminum foil packaging can form a tight sealing layer to prevent external pollutants from entering, ensuring the purity and safety of drugs. At the same time, aluminum foil can also play a shielding role to protect the private information of medicines from being leaked.

– Convenient to carry and use: Aluminum foil packaging has a smaller volume and lighter weight, which is convenient to carry. At the same time, the blister pack format makes it easy to remove and use the medication, improving the convenience of patients.

– Environmental protection and sustainability: With the growing awareness of environmental protection, aluminum foil packaging will pay more attention to environmental performance. Aluminum foil packaging made of renewable resources and environmentally friendly materials will become the mainstream in the future, helping to reduce environmental pollution and resource waste.

To sum up, aluminum foil for pill blister packaging has a wide range of application prospects and advantages in the field of pharmaceutical packaging with its excellent barrier properties, good sealing, mechanical properties and easy processing and molding.
