Experts in Printed Aluminum and High-Barrier Flexible Packaging

Primary flexible packaging is packaging that comes into direct contact with the product being packaged. Its main function is to protect the product, preserve its properties, and ensure its safety during storage and use. It is made from flexible materials such as plastic films, aluminum, and multilayer laminated structures, designed to meet specific protection and performance requirements.

This type of packaging is widely used in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical, food, veterinary, cosmetic, and nutraceutical, where solutions must provide a barrier against external factors such as moisture, oxygen, light, and contaminants, while also meeting strict quality and traceability controls.

Novaprint develops and manufactures printed and unprinted primary flexible packaging with material structures tailored to the needs of each product, offering high-protection solutions for customers in Mexico, the United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

Choosing a packaging alternative depends on factors such as the type of product, the level of protection it requires, shelf life, storage conditions, material compatibility, regulatory requirements, and printing or presentation needs.

For industries such as pharmaceutical, food, veterinary, cosmetic, and nutraceutical, it is essential to select packaging solutions that ensure protection against external factors such as moisture, oxygen, light, and contamination, while meeting the applicable quality standards.

Novaprint develops printed and unprinted primary flexible packaging tailored to the specific needs of each product, offering solutions with different material structures and barrier levels.

High-barrier materials are structures designed to protect products from external agents such as oxygen, moisture, light, odors, or contaminants, helping preserve their properties and extend their shelf life.

The most widely used high-barrier materials and structures include:

• Aluminum lidding foil structures (20 and 25 micron AL) and forming foil for blister packaging (Cold Forming Foil), high-barrier plastics (PVC/PVdC and PVC/Aclar), and high-barrier multilayer laminates (Glaspolifoil, Petpolifoil).

Novaprint designs and manufactures high-barrier mono-layer and multilayer flexible structures for pharmaceutical, food, veterinary, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications, taking into account the characteristics and protection requirements of each product.

Pharmaceutical packaging manufacturing should take place in controlled environments that minimize contamination risks and ensure the quality of the final product.

Novaprint has cleanrooms, strict processes, and facilities specifically designed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry under the highest standards of quality and control.

Exporting flexible packaging requires compliance with the quality, safety, and regulatory requirements of the destination country, as well as with the specifications of each industry the packaging is intended for.

In regulated sectors such as pharmaceutical, food, veterinary, cosmetic, and nutraceutical, manufacturers must have controlled processes, traceability, quality systems, and compliance with international standards that ensure product reliability.

Novaprint has experience serving markets in Mexico, the United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, developing printed and unprinted primary flexible packaging that meets the requirements of domestic and international customers.

Yes. There are sustainable alternatives for blister packs and other pharmaceutical packaging that aim to reduce environmental impact through material optimization, lower resource consumption, and the development of structures that are easier to recycle. At Novaprint, we offer highly specialized solutions.

Some strategies include the use of mono-materials, optimized structures, reduced thicknesses, the incorporation of recycled materials when the application allows it, and designs that make separation and proper waste management easier.

Choosing a sustainable solution depends on the type of product, protection requirements, applicable regulations, and the conditions needed to maintain packaging safety and quality.

Novaprint continues to develop printed primary flexible packaging solutions, considering alternatives that balance technical performance, product protection, and sustainability goals for regulated industries.
