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.
