Constantia Hueck Foils, a leading converter of foils and films for the healthcare and food industries, will be unveiling their new CPI Security Foil at Booth #2056 at the 2008 Interphex Show in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA on March 26 – 28, 2008.
Recently developed by Constantia for pharmaceutical primary packaging, the unique, patented CPI Security Foil allows for fine-line graphics, text, logos and micro-features to be applied directly to the surface of the aluminum during the rolling process. Because the images are embedded in the foil, they cannot be removed and because the high precision laser technology that created CPI Security Foil is not readily known or available on the market, it cannot be imitated or copied by counterfeiters. This product can be used in any aluminum-based applications including push-through blister foil, child-resistant foils, cold-form foil, pouches, sachets, induction seals for bottles and more.
The physical properties of CPI Security Foil are identical to standard foil in thickness, strength and machineability, and no changes in the packaging process or specifications need to be made. Virtually any aluminum gauge or alloy can be used and the foil can be converted, lacquered, laminated, coated, printed and slit as would conventional foil. Furthermore, CPI Security Foil is very cost effective for large scale applications.
Constantia Hueck Foils' products include push-through and peelable blister foils; cold-formable foils for absolute barrier to moisture and oxygen; heat-seal coatings for PVC, PVdC, Aclar laminations, PET, PP and Barex; two-sided registered printing for compliance-style packaging; text- and barcode-printable white-lacquered foils; plus child-resistant, senior friendly and anti-counterfeiting structures. In addition, Constantia Hueck's Pharma Finishing Services Program provides quick turnaround for customers that require materials for clinical trials, stabilities and other special needs. Additional technologies and services include lamination, coating, rotogravure and flexographic printing, metalizing, holography, slitting, in-house graphics preparation and cylinder engraving.
