Formpack® Dessiflex™
Setting the standard - Real moisture protection
Real moisture protection results from a combination of material
barrier properties, closure seal integrity and compartment
performance. Continuing to set the standard for more than 30 years,
Formpack® Dessiflex™ is the first coldform blister material satisfying
all the requirements of “real” moisture protection in tandem with
enhanced PVC-free coldform performance.

Features
• Impermeable barrier: moisture, light, oxygen and
other gases
• Moisture protection from cross-diffusion through
the lid seal*
• Maximum fracture-free forming capabilities with
improved “spring-back” characteristics*
• Long-term delamination resistance
• PVC-free structure
• Improved sealing temperature – energy efficiency*
• Increased square meters per kilogram*
• Higher lidding bond strength*
Key benefits
• Security: original coldform brand, more than 30
years of proven performance
• Maximum moisture protection extends product
shelf life
• Small cavity design and increased sq.m/kg results
in low material usage
• Unsurpassed quality: consistent performance
maximizes production reliability
• Increased product detection in the blister cavity
• Greater sustainability via PVC-free packaging,
superior economy of material usage and reduced
energy requirements
• Increased security of the lidding closure
Applications
• Customized packaging concepts
• Patient unit dose
Added value
• Fracture-free guarantee when tooling is designed by
Forsis® simulation and PhiCheck analysis services
• One system reliability when coupled with
Amcor lidding
• Regulatory and pharmaceutical GMP compliance
• Technical assistance
• Global network to offer continuity of supply
• Global R&D innovation centers

A Kilogram with a difference!!
Increasing productivity is often about doing more with less…
less time, less money, or less material… as is the case with the
Formpack® family of protective packaging. Using Formpack®’s
unsurpassed formability to optimize blister size, combined with
greater square meters per kilogram, can potentially mean 60%
more blisters per kilogram.
