Constantia Flexibles Introduces Deep-drawn
Aluminum Container for Pharmaceutical Devices
“Safemax” Provides Premium Protection Against Moisture
while Remaining Easy to Open for Customers
Blythewood, SC – Constantia Flexibles, a global corporation that develops, manufactures
and supplies flexible packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, home &
personal care, food and beverage markets, has developed a new deep-drawn aluminum
container for pharmaceutical devices. Known as Constantia Safemax, the innovation offers
dramatic improvement over traditional packaging in protecting pharmaceutical devices
against moisture ingress during global distribution. For customers, the container’s
conveniently peelable lidding foil also makes it easy to open.
To produce Constantia Safemax’s deep-drawn tray, aluminum is laminated to polyprolypene
and then combined with a lidding foil particularly known for its consumer peelability. The
result is exemplary seal integrity with easy opening characteristics. Safemax also is
customizable: its exact design and format can be readily tailored to ensure that the pharma
device is successfully delivered to individual patients.
In addition to affording premium levels of moisture protection during distribution anywhere
in the world, Safemax also meets the understandably high quality, hygiene, regulatory and
product security requirements demanded by the global healthcare market.
“In developing the Safemax deep-drawn container for the pharma sector, engineers at
Constantia Flexibles were able to draw upon the company’s wider expertise in aluminum
conversion technologies for packaging applications in a variety of other industries,” said
Frederick J. Lutz, Regional Sales Manager North America, Pharma Division for Constantia
Flexibles. “The result is a container that is optimized for our pharma customers as well as
the end users.”
