Extrusion and Adhesive Laminations for Healthcare Packaging
Are you constantly challenged with finding the right packaging combination that balances cost and performance in a world with complex regulatory and testing requirements? Tekni-Plex offers a wide variety of extrusion and adhesive laminates with various degrees of barrier protection to ensure that your products demanding performance requirements are met. Designed with versatility in mind, our products can be used in pouch, sachet, form-fill-seal and lidding applications. Because we have decades of experience working with a wide variety of materials, we can quickly find the right combination for you.
Broad Product Portfolio that Addresses a Wide Variety of Application Requirements
We manufacture a broad portfolio of extrusion and adhesive laminates using PET, nylon, paper, foil, PE and ionomer. The goal is to specify structures that can handle the rigors of sterilzation and distribution, as well as provide a wide operating window to create clean peels for a variety of applications. Extrusion laminates typically offer higher structural stability and lower raw material inputs for the budget conscious user, while our adhesive laminates have excellent barrier properties and can be run at very high speeds.
How to select the right barrier packaging for your product
The unique composition of many pharmaceutical and animal health products or medical devices often requires special packaging designed to ensure product quality and integrity.
Understanding how barrier packaging materials work, and how they interact with your product’s unique characteristics, is critical to achieving optimal performance and protection.
We have created this two-part video as a guide to selecting the appropriate packaging materials.
