Pharmaceutical Packaging

These problems usually trace back to packaging that wasn’t up to the job.

We supply flexible packaging films to supplement brands, nutraceutical manufacturers, contract packers, and pharmaceutical companies. Lidding for tubs and trays. Flow wrap for production lines. Overwrap for collation. High-barrier laminates for products that need robust protection.

We’re UK based - so lead times are weeks, not months, and you speak directly to the people handling your packaging.

Why Packaging Matters More Here

Whey and plant proteins are hygroscopic - they pull moisture from the air. Standard films let enough water vapour through to cause clumping within weeks. The tub looked sealed. The film just wasn’t up to the job.

Vitamin C, omega-3s, and certain B vitamins oxidise. A sachet that tests fine at packing can fail potency testing at month six. If your product contains oxidation-sensitive actives, standard BOPP won’t cut it.

Warehouses aren’t climate controlled. Summer temperatures accelerate degradation. Winter condensation causes moisture problems. Your packaging needs to handle the real supply chain, not laboratory conditions.

Some actives degrade under light - certain vitamins, omega oils. Clear packaging looks premium but might be killing your product on the shelf. Probiotics have their own challenges: many strains are oxygen-sensitive and need proper barrier protection to stay viable.

High-Barrier Laminates

Laminated films for products that need real protection. Foil laminates block light completely. EVOH structures stop oxygen transmission. Metallised films provide moisture barriers.

The right structure depends on your product, your shelf life target, and your budget. A collagen powder going into health food shops might be fine in metallised BOPP. A high-value probiotic blend targeting 24-month shelf life probably needs foil. We’ll recommend the structure that fits your application.

Lidding Films

Lidding film for sealing supplement tubs, nutraceutical trays, and healthcare product containers. Peel seal for easy opening. Weld seal where tamper evidence matters. High-barrier options for moisture and oxygen-sensitive products.

We supply lidding that seals to PP, PET, and PE tubs - peel or weld, matched to your sealer settings. Running a Proseal, Multivac, or similar? We can match your existing specifications or send samples for line trials before you commit.

Flow Wrap Film

Flow wrap film for HFFS and VFFS lines. BOPP for standard applications. Laminates and barrier films for products needing more protection. We stock popular BOPP widths for quick dispatch - custom sizes and laminates take 3-4 weeks.

Supplement sachets, vitamin packs, protein bars, health products - if it runs through a flow wrapper, we supply it.

Overwrap and Grouping Film

Polyethylene film for collating and grouping. Bundling boxes, securing multipacks, protecting cartons during transit. Clear or printed, plain or perforated.

Pharmaceutical customers use this for secondary and tertiary packaging - the outer layers that protect cartons and boxes rather than primary packaging contacting the product directly.

Who We Supply

Supplement and nutraceutical brands - Protein powders, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, collagen, herbal products, meal replacements, health bars. High-barrier films that keep products stable through their shelf life.

Contract packers - Multiple brands, multiple SKUs, constantly changing specifications. Call-off arrangements so you’re not tying up cash in inventory. Same-day despatch on stock items when a customer lands an unexpected order. When a new client needs the same specification with different artwork, we already have the files and can turn it around quickly.

Pharmaceutical companies - Secondary and tertiary packaging. Overwrap for cartons, grouping film for multipacks, collation for transit. Full batch traceability and certificates of conformity when your auditors come knocking.

Cleanroom and PS9000

We don’t currently have cleanroom facilities or PS9000 certification - so if your specification requires these, we can’t help right now. But if you’re packing supplements, nutraceuticals, or healthcare products that don’t need pharmaceutical-grade environments, we’re well placed. If your requirements are evolving, we’re happy to discuss options.

Quality and Traceability

All films are food-grade, EU 10/2011 compliant. BRCGS AA(*) accreditation - the standard retailers require, and increasingly expected across the supplement industry. Full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Certificates of conformity when your auditors need them.

Lead times of 3-4 weeks rather than months. No containers stuck at customs. No supply chain mysteries. If there’s a problem, we solve it directly. If you need something urgently, we can usually find a way.
