6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil for Medicine and Pharmaceutical Use
6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil is a specially designed aluminium foil material for pharmaceutical packaging. It is mainly used in the blister packaging of medicines to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and freshness of the products.
6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil is primarily used for pharmaceutical packaging, especially in blister packaging for solid medicines like tablets and capsules. "6gsm HSL" refers to the weight of the heat seal lacquer (HSL) coating applied to the aluminium foil, where 6gsm represents the weight of this heat seal coating, which is 6 grams per square meter. This coating is used to form a strong heat seal between the aluminium foil and the blister packaging material (such as PVC, PVDC, etc.).
6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil ensures that the foil has the appropriate strength and durability to effectively protect the medicines from moisture, light, and oxygen, thereby extending the shelf life of the products.

Advantages of 6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil
6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil, as a pharmaceutical packaging material, offers excellent properties such as moisture, light, and oxygen resistance, ensuring the long-term stability of the drugs. Its high strength allows it to withstand higher pressures during the automation packaging process, ensuring the smooth operation of packaging. Customizable printing patterns not only enhance the visual appeal of the packaging but also increase brand recognition and convey necessary drug information, making it an ideal material for pharmaceutical packaging.
| Advantages | Detailed Description |
| Excellent moisture, light, and oxygen resistance to ensure drug stability | Moisture resistance: 6gsm HSL aluminium foil has extremely low moisture permeability, effectively isolating moisture in the air and preventing the drugs from becoming damp. This helps avoid degradation, ineffectiveness, or clumping, which is crucial for maintaining the long-term effectiveness of the drugs. |
| Light resistance: The aluminium foil effectively blocks ultraviolet rays, protecting drugs from light damage and preventing light-induced degradation, especially suitable for light-sensitive drugs such as vitamins and hormones. | |
| Oxygen resistance: The aluminium foil has strong sealing properties, effectively blocking oxygen and preventing oxidation reactions, ensuring that the drugs do not lose potency or spoil due to oxidation. This is particularly beneficial for oxygen-sensitive drugs. | |
| High strength to withstand higher pressures during automation packaging | High strength: 6gsm HSL aluminium foil has good tensile strength and tear resistance, enabling it to withstand mechanical pressure during the packaging process and prevent rupture or tearing, ensuring the integrity of the packaging. |
| Good formability: The thickness of this aluminium foil is moderate, providing sufficient strength while maintaining a certain level of flexibility, allowing it to form smoothly in automated packaging equipment. | |
| Pressure resistance: The aluminium foil can withstand the pressure of heat sealing and compression machines, ensuring no physical damage during the automated packaging process and maintaining the sealing integrity of the blister packaging. | |
| Customizable printed patterns to enhance the visual effect of pharmaceutical packaging | Personalized printing design: 6gsm HSL aluminium foil can be customized with printed information such as drug name, brand logo, dosage, production date, etc. This enhances the recognition of the packaging and effectively conveys drug information. |

Applications of 6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil
6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially for packaging tablets, capsules, soft gels, and other medicines. Its properties of moisture, light, and oxygen resistance ensure the quality stability of drugs during storage and transportation. It also offers high strength, excellent heat sealability, and customizable printing features, providing reliable safety for pharmaceutical packaging.
1. Tablet Packaging
Protecting drug efficacy: Tablets are often highly sensitive to humidity, oxygen, and light, especially common prescription drugs such as antibiotics and pain relievers. The moisture, light, and oxygen resistance of 6gsm HSL Printed Aluminium Blister Foil effectively protects the drugs from environmental factors, preserving their efficacy and stability.
Ensuring drug safety: Tablet packaging must prevent external contamination and mechanical damage. The high strength and excellent sealing properties of aluminium foil ensure that tablets remain intact during transportation and storage, avoiding moisture, oxidation, or breakage.
Versatility: This aluminium foil is suitable for tablets of various shapes and sizes, whether round, oval, or specially shaped tablets. It can be customized to ensure tight packaging and an attractive display of the tablets.
2. Capsule Packaging
Moisture and oxygen protection: Capsules are particularly vulnerable to moisture, which can cause internal ingredients to dissolve or degrade. 6gsm HSL Aluminium Foil effectively prevents the ingress of moisture and oxygen, extending the shelf life of capsules, especially soft gels with volatile or liquid components. The foil's excellent sealing properties are crucial.
Maintaining drug efficacy: Capsules often contain active pharmaceutical ingredients or materials sensitive to temperature and light. The light protection and airtight properties of aluminium foil help prevent reactions with external elements, ensuring the drug remains effective throughout its shelf life.
Suitable for various sizes: Whether small capsules, large capsules, or composite capsules, 6gsm HSL aluminium foil can be customized according to different packaging needs, adapting to automated packaging systems to ensure efficiency and quality.
3. Soft Gel Packaging
Excellent sealing performance: Soft gels contain liquid or semi-solid ingredients, which are more susceptible to oxygen, moisture, and light than dry powder drugs. 6gsm HSL Aluminium Foil provides outstanding protective performance, effectively isolating external environments and ensuring the stability and potency of soft gels.
Enhanced protection: Soft gel packaging requires high sealing performance to prevent oils or other liquid components from coming into contact with air. The heat-seal properties of the aluminium foil ensure that it tightly bonds with PVC, PVDC, and other plastic substrates during production, forming a reliable sealed structure.
Customization: Soft gel packaging often requires aesthetic appeal. The customizable printing feature of 6gsm HSL aluminium foil provides clear labeling, including drug name, dosage, and other details, while enhancing the visual effect and brand recognition.
