Constantia Flexibles, a global corporation that develops, manufactures and supplies flexible packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, home & personal care, food and beverage markets, received an award for one of its newest packaging solutions at the European Aluminium Foil Association’s prestigious Alufoil Trophy Awards.

In the Technical Innovation category, which acknowledges mastery of alufoil technical and engineering practices in creating unique, groundbreaking packaging solutions, Constantia Flexibles received an award for its CONSTANTIA Perform sterilizable lidding foil. Originally designed to house a safety needle system, Constantia Perform can be laser marked and uses an abrasion-resistant overlacquer. The lidding foil allows for an easy and clean opening, can be sterilized with gamma radiation, provides optically perfect print layout including exact machine positioning, and offers high mechanical consistency against abrasion.

In the Product Preservation category, which recognizes the use of foil-based packaging to provide comprehensive product protection, GSK won recognition for its dramatic improvement over traditional packaging in safeguarding pharmaceutical devices against moisture ingress during global distribution with an Ellipta tray and lid, for which Constantia Flexibles is the sole supplier. The container’s conveniently peelable lidding foil also makes it easy to open – an added benefit to end users.

The European Aluminium Foil Association represents more than 100 companies utilizing alufoil in their products, including rolling and rewinding, container manufacturing and other types of flexible packaging development. Its Alufoil Trophy Awards showcase excellence in products that either are made from alufoil or contain alufoil as part of a laminate or structure.
