Alu-Alu reverse printing foil

In reverse printing, the ink goes on the inner face of the outer OPA film before it is laminated to the aluminium. The print ends up sealed between the layers, so it shows on the formed (cavity) side of your Alu-Alu blister but cannot scratch, scuff or rub off in transport.

It turns the plain silver base of an Alu-Alu pack into branded packaging: logo, product name, a colour band or a repeat pattern on the side the patient sees first. The foil forms on standard cold form tooling, just like plain Alu Alu foil.

  • Print sealed inside the laminate, so it is rub and scratch resistant
  • Brand visible on the cavity side of Alu-Alu packs
  • Same moisture, oxygen and light barrier as plain Alu Alu foil
  • Runs on standard cold form blister tooling
  • Single or multi-colour designs, slit to your machine width

Questions about Alu-Alu Reverse Printing Foil

Will the print crack when the foil is cold formed?

Reverse printed foil is made for cold forming. The design is laid out for your cavity size and pitch so text and logos sit on flat areas or stretch evenly across the cavities.

Do I need different blister tooling?

No. Reverse printed Alu Alu foil runs on the same cold form tooling as plain Alu Alu foil. We only need your cavity layout and pitch to register the print.
