“Layered Defense: Multi-Layer Films for Ultimate Protection” – Complex Laminated Flexible Films

Case 2022-06-14

  • Product Used: Multi-Layer Pharmaceutical Flexible Film (PVC/PVDC/PE)
  • Application: PTP blister packs, strip packs, and soft gel capsules requiring high barrier protection
  • Case Description: A soft gel and tablet manufacturer needed a flexible film capable of blocking moisture, oxygen, and light, particularly for tropical markets. Multi-layer laminated films with PVC, PVDC, and PE layers provided exceptional barrier properties and thermal stability, maintaining soft gel oil quality and tablet dissolution profiles for up to 18 months.
  • Outcome: Shelf life was significantly extended, product safety improved, and complaints about rancidity or tablet degradation dropped to near zero. The multi-layer film also supported automated blister and strip packing lines, reducing downtime.
