Amcor said that its new product has been designed to meet the most stringent packaging requirements of the pharmaceutical and medical industry.
It also said that the new product combines the strong barrier of aluminum against light, moisture and oxygen with the high stability of containers, providing a high degree of protection to healthcare products. It said that the product significantly extends shelf life. It is also particularly suitable for inhalers and diagnostic devices which usually require a total protection from moisture.

Bertrand Jannon, marketing and business development manager Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas said: “We have noticed a strong push for high barrier packaging solutions combined with a good mechanical protection in the inhaler and diagnostic markets.
“Together with leading pharmaceutical companies, we have further developed our proven aluminum container technology to make it fit for the high requirements of this industry. Our innovative partnership with Rychiger enables us to offer a complete solution and the support of two leading companies on the pharmaceutical market.”
The product is on show at the Achema Trade Fair in Frankfurt this week.
