Welcome to Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. — a trusted supplier of high-quality pharmaceutical packaging materials. Established in 2025, we have rapidly grown into a global exporter with annual export value exceeding US$50 million. Our Pharmaceutical Aluminum Foil for Tablet Blister Packaging is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of the pharmaceutical industry, combining a precise thickness of 20 microns with a PVDC coating for superior moisture protection. This product ensures that your tablets remain stable, effective, and safe throughout their shelf life. With ISO9001 certification and a dedicated team of 51–100 professionals, we deliver consistent quality that you can rely on.

Product Overview & Key Features

  • Precise Thickness (20 microns): Optimized for excellent formability and barrier performance in blister packaging machines.

  • PVDC Coating: Provides an exceptional moisture barrier, significantly reducing water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) to protect hygroscopic tablets.

  • Excellent Sealability: Compatible with cold-form and heat-seal lidding materials, ensuring secure and tamper-evident packaging.

  • Smooth Surface: Low friction coefficient for smooth feeding and high-speed packaging operations.

  • Non-Toxic & FDA Compliant: Manufactured from food-grade aluminum and PVDC, meeting global pharmaceutical safety standards.

  • Customizable Dimensions: Available in various widths (200–600 mm) and roll lengths to suit your specific blister machine requirements.

  • High Mechanical Strength: Resists punctures and tears during handling and transportation.

  • UV Protection: Aluminum layer blocks light, preventing degradation of light-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Why Choose Our PVDC Coated Aluminum Foil?

  • Superior Moisture Protection: The PVDC coating creates a high-barrier layer that keeps moisture out, extending the shelf life of moisture-sensitive tablets by up to 2–3 times compared to standard aluminum foil.

  • Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to cold-form foil laminates, our 20-micron PVDC coated foil offers an excellent balance of performance and cost, reducing your packaging material expenses.

  • High-Speed Productivity: With consistent thickness and excellent surface quality, this foil runs smoothly on modern blister packaging machines (e.g., Uhlmann, IMA, Marchesini) at speeds up to 600 blisters per minute.

  • Global Compliance: Our manufacturing process follows ISO9001 quality management system, and the materials are compliant with USP , EP 3.1.7, and 21 CFR 175.105 (for indirect food contact).

  • Customizable Roll Dimensions: We offer tailored roll widths, core sizes (e.g., 76 mm or 152 mm), and splicing options to match your specific blister machine specifications.

  • Eco-Friendly Production: Our aluminum foil is 100% recyclable, and the PVDC coating is applied with solvent-free lamination processes, minimizing environmental impact.

Applications

This pharmaceutical aluminum foil is specifically designed for blister packaging of solid oral dosage forms, including:

  • Tablets (coated, uncoated, effervescent)

  • Capsules (hard gelatin, softgel)

  • Lozenges

  • Suppositories (small size)

  • Nutraceuticals and dietary supplements

It is also suitable for unit-dose packaging in hospitals and nursing homes, where moisture protection and tamper evidence are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between PVDC coated aluminum foil and plain aluminum foil?

A: PVDC coating significantly enhances the moisture barrier properties. Plain aluminum foil typically has a WVTR of 2–3 g/m²/day, while our PVDC coated foil achieves ≤0.5 g/m²/day, making it ideal for hygroscopic tablets.

Q2: Can this foil be used for child-resistant blister packaging?

A: Yes, when combined with a suitable lidding material (e.g., push-through or peel-push laminates), our foil can contribute to child-resistant functionality. We recommend testing with your specific blister design.

Q3: What is the shelf life of the foil itself?

A: Under proper storage conditions (cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight), the foil can be stored for up to 2 years without degradation of barrier properties.

Q4: Do you offer samples for testing?

A: Yes, we provide free samples (A4 size or small roll) for qualification. Please contact our sales team with your requirements and shipping details.

Q5: Is the PVDC coating food-grade and safe for pharmaceutical use?

A: Absolutely. The PVDC used is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 and EU Regulation 10/2011 for indirect food contact. It is non-toxic and does not migrate into the drug product.

Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: Our standard MOQ is 500 kg per specification. For smaller quantities, please discuss with our team; we may accommodate trial orders.

Q7: How do you handle transportation and packaging to prevent damage?

A: Each roll is vacuum-sealed in a moisture-barrier bag with desiccant, then packed in a strong cardboard box with cushioning. For sea freight, we use fumigated wooden pallets or crates.

Q8: Can you provide a certificate of analysis (COA) with each shipment?

A: Yes, a COA including thickness, WVTR, coating weight, and mechanical properties is provided for every batch. We also offer third-party testing reports upon request.
