Together with Huhtamaki - the film and foil specialist - Romaco Siebler is premiering a pushthrough
strip packaging for pharmaceuticals. The tablets can be removed simply by pressing
them out of the pockets in the four-sided sealed foil pack. This innovative push-through strip
thus combines the excellent barrier properties of strip packaging with the opening mechanism
of blister formats. In direct comparison with cold formed aluminium blisters, the push-through
strip scores with its lower consumption of packaging material, and the thinner foil of the heatsealed
strips enables cost savings. The new push-through strips are manufactured either from a
multilayer laminated PET-PE-Al-PE/Surlyn foil or from a transparent barrier foil. The material does
not tear and can therefore be regarded as child resistant. www.romaco.com
