PVC/PE Film for Pharmaceutical Packaging
PVC/PE Film Product Overview
HealthPlast PVC/PE Film is a multilayer laminate designed for pharmaceutical blister packaging and sachet sealing applications, where standard PVC may lack the flexibility or seal integrity. By bonding a rigid PVC base with a heat-sealable polyethylene (PE) layer, this film provides enhanced moisture resistance, strong seal performance, and cost-effective machinability—ideal for powder sachets, topical ointments, or special-shaped blister cavities.

FAQs – PVC/PE Film
Q1: Is PE on the inside or outside of the roll?
A: PE is on the inside (seal layer), ready to bond with foil or PE-based lidding.
Q2: Can it be used on standard blister machines?
A: Yes. No major change to machine setup. Heat sealing bars should match PE seal temperature.
Q3: Is it more eco-friendly than Alu-based films?
A: Yes. PE layer allows easier recycling compared to multi-metal laminates.
Q4: Is it printable?
A: Yes, flexo or gravure print is supported on the PVC side.
