Every two minutes a child dies of malaria: a disease that can be cured with the right medicine. However, one third of all malaria drugs sold in Africa are counterfeit, containing nothing more than chalk or washing powder.
In order to end this tragedy, it is essential to take up the fight against counterfeit drugs. As pharmaceuticals in many developing countries are sold without any secondary packaging features, Constantia Flexibles highlights the importance of distinctive primary packaging. Elaborate design features allow customers to spot the difference between original and fake medicine at a glance. Some examples include security pigments, holograms and security foil. Being among the global industry leaders, Constantia Flexibles applies highly advanced technologies to make primary packaging fake-proof.
In recent years, an increasing number of medicines have been protected with child-resistant (CR) packaging. Notwithstanding this market trend, elderly people also need to be able to open packaging easily. They sometimes have other people empty tablets from blister packs into a bowl if they cannot open the packaging themselves − which in turn poses a risk for children who live in the same household. As a result, one of the biggest challenges for medicine packaging is achieving the right balance between child safety and ease of access for elderly people. Constantia Flexibles meets these specific requirements with child resistant blister lidding foil.
Constantia Child Resistant is available in four different versions: peel & push, peelable, bend & tear, and push through. All four options provide comprehensive protection against moisture, oxygen and light, and can be customised to meet country-specific regulations.
Constantia Flexibles aims to help supply society as a whole with eco-efficient products and services, and to quickly and efficiently offer appropriate support and assistance as part of a responsible, entrepreneurial approach.
A key factor is ensuring the availability of custom packaging solutions that are tailor-made in terms of size, handling, safety, shippability and storability. In addition, packaging should be recyclable where feasible. In product development, we focus on packaging solutions with a minimal impact on the environment, low material usage, and high recyclability, without sacrificing optimum product characteristics. We then offer these packaging solutions to our clients all over the world.
Since 2005, we have measured our direct and indirect emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. We are committed to achieving a 40% CO2-emissions reduction (per square metre produced) by 2023.
