Alu-AluFoil – Ultimate Protection for Moisture & Light-Sensitive Medicines
HealthPlast Alu-Alu Foil (also known as Cold-Formed Blister Foil) is engineered for the highest barrier performance in pharmaceutical packaging. Designed to protect sensitive drugs from moisture, oxygen, light, and contamination,
This three-layer laminate (OPA/ALU/PVC) is designed to protect sensitive medicines from moisture, oxygen, light, and contamination. It helps extend shelf life and meets global pharmaceutical regulations.
Construction
| Layer | Material | Function |
| Outer Layer | Oriented Polyamide (OPA) | Mechanical strength & forming support |
| Core Layer | Aluminum Foil | Absolute barrier to moisture, gas, and light |
| Inner Layer | PVC / PP | Heat sealability with lidding foil (typically printed aluminum) |
Available with PVC or PP inner layer based on your forming and sealing requirements.

FAQ – Alu-Alu Foil
Q1: Can this foil be printed?
Yes, we offer 6–8 color rotogravure printing with medical-grade inks (EU 10/2011 compliant). Printing is on the lidding foil side, not forming foil.
Q2: Is it suitable for tropical zone storage?
Absolutely. Our Alu-Alu foil is engineered for high-humidity environments, with certified barrier properties proven in accelerated aging tests (40°C/75% RH).
Q3: Can you match forming machine specs?
Yes, just provide your forming machine model (Uhlmann, IMA, Romaco, etc.), and we can pre-trim rolls or adjust foil stiffness accordingly.
Q4: What are the regulatory certificates?
ISO 9001, CE, DMF Type III (upon request), USP <661>, and global regulatory support available
