Constantia Flexibles highlighted its 360-degree material approach for the pharma and consumer business. Products highlighted included:
Designed for the PE recycling stream, EcoLam laminates (shown) are based on PE compounds developed by Constantia Flexibles. OPE, barrier OPE, and metalized high barrier OPE (in combination with the appropriate sealant PE) will replace non-recyclable laminates such as PET/PE, PA/PE, or even PET/ALU/PE.
EcoVer is Constantia Flexibles’ mono PP offering that is available in different barrier grades: EcoVer, EcoVerPlus, and EcoVerHighPlus. Applicable on vf/f/s and hf/f/s lines, its high transparency, low initial sealing temperatures, its heat resistance, and stiffness facilitate the use for beverages, snacks, dairy, confectionery, home and personal care, pet care or processed food. EcoVer, a PP mono structure, is recyclable in the mixed PO stream.
EcoPeelCover is the thinnest possible aluminum/coex die cut lid that lowers the material use and weight but still guarantees an easy peel for consumers. The new smooth-finish-embossing pattern significantly enhances the aesthetic appeal compared to traditional embossing techniques.
Also highlighted was the PPCover, a metal-free die cut lid based on PP, paper-based EcoPaperLid, the rPETLid die cut lid that is created from recycled plastic to reduce virgin feedstock.
EcoPaperPlus is a recyclable paper-based packaging solutions designed for medium-barrier applications. It is particularly suitable for products that require aroma and grease barriers, such as confectionery, snacks, and even home and personal care (HPC) applications. The material is available with a smooth or rough surface shine and is printable by Rotogravure, Flexo, or Digital. Paper FSC or PEFC certification is available on demand.
Constantia Flexibles also demonstrated its solutions in the pharma sector. NORMA is a high-performance lidding foil for pharmaceutical blister packaging. PERPETUA is a sustainable packaging solution with high barrier properties made of recyclable polypropylene-based mono-material. Its excellent barrier properties make it ideal for pharmaceuticals. VELAR is the packaging for pharmaceutical flow wrap and overwrap laminates based on PET/ALU/PE. It is designed to provide exceptional barrier properties against light, oxygen, and water vapor. VELAR is recommended for the packaging of medical and pharmaceutical products such as blisters, inhalers, plastic vials, and diagnostic devices.
