Bliser
Many of CAFCO’s properties combine to provide user-friendly, safe and versatile packaging formats for pharmaceutical tablets, creams, liquids and powders.
Alufoil’s excellent barrier properties totally exclude moisture, oxygen and other gases, micro-organisms and light, maintaining degradable products in peak condition over long periods.
Foil comes in a completely sterile condition due to the annealing temperature and final conditioning processes. It is not hazardous to health, and many suppliers offer dedicated ‘clean-room’ printing and laminating or printing and packing facilities to ensure medical standards of sterility.
Lidding for dairy products
Traditionally lids were embossed to ensure reliable handling on the lidding machine; today they can also be supplied without embossing. The separation characteristic is provided by a pattern of ‘dots’, messages or logo designs printed on the inner sealing side.
Opaque lids for dairy product containers can help to extend shelf life by protecting the sensitive contents from direct exposure to the strong fluorescent lighting in refrigerated supermarket display cabinets.
An alufoil closure completely eliminates spoilage due to exposure to the atmosphere and deterioration during storage.
