Constantia Flexibles launches new blister lidding foil

- easy-PIESY foil has aluminum-PET-aluminum structure that requires less heat during sealing than traditional paper-back foils

 

- Offers same level of printability as standard blister foils

 

Flexible packaging developer Constantia Flexibles has launched easy-PIESY, a paper-free, child-resistant blister lidding foil with upgraded peel/push functionalities for consumers and an efficient packaging process for manufacturers. 

 

The new easy-PIESY foil is an aluminum-PET-aluminum lamination that requires less heat during the sealing process than traditional paper-back foil structures. 

 

In addition, no modifications to existing heat-seal lacquer units are necessary, nor is new or extra tooling.

 

Constantia said easy-PIESY offers a smooth, robust peel, with other advantages over conventional paper, PET or aluminum laminates. The blister lidding’s reduced sealing temperatures, resulting from superior heat transmission through the laminate, leads to higher productivity and less stress on machines. Its paper-free design also makes it especially suited to cleanroom environments. 

 

Constantia added that easy-PIESY blister lidding is exceedingly simple to punch, and offers the same high levels of printability as standard blister foils.

 

Frederick Lutz, director of sales and service for Constantia Flexibles, said: ‘Given its high levels of packaging efficiency, product protection and consumer ease-of-use, easy-PIESY is very appropriately named.

 

‘We continuously strive to simplify our packaging solutions while bolstering their effectiveness for both manufacturers and end users. Our latest blister lidding solution is easy to seal, easy to open and easy to incorporate into existing lines.’
