TOP 10 Benefits of PVC/EVOH/LDPE Rolls for Pharma Packaging

 Typical Technical Specifications (For Reference)

1. Ultra-High Oxygen Barrier for Long-Term Drug Stability

EVOH is one of the world’s best gas-barrier materials.
PVC/EVOH/LDPE rolls effectively block:

• Oxygen

• Odor

• External contamination

• Oxidation reactions

This significantly extends shelf life of oxygen-sensitive medicines, liquid formulas, and bio-active components.

2. Excellent Moisture Protection for Capsule & Tablet Packaging

The LDPE layer provides exceptional moisture-blocking performance, preventing:

• Capsule softening

• Tablet breakdown

• Active ingredient degradation

This ensures pharmaceutical potency over long storage durations.

3. High Transparency or Optional Colors for Branding

Depending on requirements, manufacturers can produce:

• Crystal-clear transparent rolls

• Soft transparent tinted rolls

• Fully opaque colored rolls

This flexibility supports pharmaceutical branding and improves visual product recognition.

4. Strong Thermoforming Performance for Deep Draw Blister Cavities

PVC provides excellent forming ability.
Blister shapes can be customized for:

• Round tablets

• Capsules

• Capsules of various sizes

• Liquid-filled ampoules

• Multi-cavity blister trays

Even deep-draw packaging maintains consistent thickness and strength.

5. Superior Sealing Strength for Liquid Medicine Packaging

The LDPE sealing layer ensures:

• Leak-proof

• High bonding strength

• Good heat-sealing performance on high-speed lines

Perfect for liquid oral drugs, OTC syrups, diagnostic liquids, and more.

6. Excellent Chemical Resistance

PVC/EVOH/LDPE rolls resist:

• Alcohol

• Organic solvents

• Iodine

• Acidic/alkaline drug formulations

This protects both the packaging and the pharmaceuticals inside.

7. Lightweight, Cost-Effective, and Highly Efficient

Compared with glass or pure aluminum materials:

• Production cost is lower

• Packaging line speed is faster

• Transportation cost is reduced

It provides an ideal cost-performance balance for mass pharmaceutical packaging.

8. Compatible with High-Speed Blister and Form-Fill-Seal Machines

The material fits most standard equipment:

• Blister packaging lines (PVC/Alu, PVC/PVDC-style machines)

• FFS liquid packaging systems

• Capsule blister lines

Result: high yield, low waste, consistent thickness and quality.

9. Optional Antibacterial & Anti-UV Additives

For higher safety requirements such as:

• Pediatric medicine packaging

• Herbal extracts

• Light-sensitive liquid formulations

Manufacturers may add:
UV blockers
Antibacterial agents
Anti-static options

These enhance product protection.

10. Excellent Printability for High-End Colored Pharma Packaging

PVC/EVOH/LDPE rolls can be:

• Reverse printed

• Surface printed

• Matched with aluminum lidding foil

• Customized with brand colors

This allows premium-looking packaging while maintaining barrier performance.\

Applications of PVC/EVOH/LDPE Rolls in Pharma Industry
