The choice of aluminum foil thickness for cold medicine packaging depends on a variety of factors, including the specific requirements of the medicine, packaging design and regulations. However, due to its specific properties and requirements, aluminum foil used for pharmaceutical packaging (including cold medicines) is usually quite thin. Common thicknesses for pharmaceutical foil packaging are typically 0.02 to 0.03 mm (20 -30 microns).

aluminum foil for medicine packaging

Aluminum foil is chosen as the packaging material for cold medicine because aluminum foil has many characteristics that other packaging materials do not have.

The barrier properties of aluminum foil can effectively block light, oxygen, moisture and other environmental factors that can reduce the quality and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. Ensure that cold medicine can be stored for a long time in aluminum foil packaging.

Flexibility: Thinner aluminum foil is more flexible and can be easily folded and sealed during the packaging process. This flexibility is essential for creating a tight seal to protect the drug.

Weight and Cost: Thinner foil is lighter, which facilitates shipping and storage. Additionally, thinner foil may be more cost-effective.

Compatibility: The thickness of the foil is usually optimized to be compatible with the specific packaging machinery and processes used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Aluminum foil is the most popular choice among cold medicine outer packaging materials. Among aluminum foil alloys, 8011 h18 alloy is a good cold medicine packaging material.
