Pharmaceutical blister packaging films

Klöckner Pentaplast’s Pentapharm® film product line has been extended to include Pentapharm kpVantage™ polyester films for pharmaceutical blister packaging. Pentapharm kpVantage films are high-performance polyester films which incorporate a wide range of structures to meet pharmaceutical packaging needs, says the company. These films are designed to be processed on existing equipment maintaining all critical package components – no need to change tooling, lidding, or package design. Pentapharm kpVantage films can be used as mono films for pharmaceuticals requiring low moisture barrier or they can be integrated into barrier structures for products that require more protection from moisture and gas. These films are said to be well-suited for solid oral-dose packaging, ethical drugs, OTC, generics, physician samples, veterinary medicine, and nutraceuticals.
