What Is Pharmaceutical Rigid PVC Film?

Pharmaceutical rigid PVC film is a thermoformable plastic material used in suitable pharmaceutical packaging applications. In tablet and capsule blister packaging, the film is formed into cavities, filled with the intended product and sealed using compatible lidding materials.

Rigid PVC forming film can provide an appropriate packaging structure for drug formulations whose moisture and oxygen protection requirements are met by the selected PVC grade and complete blister pack. More demanding products may require a separate barrier film structure.

The film can be supplied in different colors, thicknesses and dimensions. Buyers should specify the pharmaceutical packaging process, forming cavity design, film web width and required material documentation before selecting a particular grade.
