Constantia Flexibles introduces blister lidding foil to U.S. market
Constantia Flexibles (cflex.com) – a global corporation that develops, manufactures and supplies flexible packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, home and personal care, food and beverage markets – introduces to the U.S. market its award-winning Constantia Blister Eco, a pharma packaging lidding foil for low-barrier products that offers significant cost savings compared to standard blister lidding foil. The relatively new product was recently awarded an Alufoil Trophy by the European Aluminum Foil Association (EAFA) in its annual competition.
Constantia Blister Eco consists of tissue paper laminated with a thin aluminum layer, resulting in a material that is 23% lighter than a standard lidding foil. The share of aluminum in the product is 40% – far less than standard foil’s approximately 90% – and it also uses renewable raw material paper and less lacquer coating, making it more sustainable.
