Alcan has launched a child-resistant blister lidding system which it says fully complies with EN 14375, the latest European child resistance standard for pharmaceuticals, yet allows easy access for seniors.
Guardlid combines aluminium foil laminates with polyester or oriented polyamide films to provide the puncture resistance and enhanced peelability required to meet American and European legal provisions.
Carefully engineered bond strengths are used to provide the necessary peel-push, peel-open or tear-open features, as specified by the customer.
Several customers have already approved the Guardlid structure on their lines, with new packs made of the material set to appear in stores soon.
