Barrier Options for Pharma and Medical Products

Pharmaceutical and medical device packaging requires barrier protection that meets rigorous regulatory requirements while maintaining performance across storage and transit conditions. Glenroy’s foil and non-foil flexible laminations are designed to provide maximum protection for sensitive formulations and active ingredients.

• Chemical resistance for hard-to-hold products
• Oxygen, light, and moisture barriers that meet stringent requirements (including clear high-barrier laminations)
• Sealant layers that provide outstanding seal strength, hot tack, and seal-through-contamination characteristics, and resist the scalping of active ingredients
• Properties such as easy tear propagation or peelability
• High-fidelity flexographic printing

Pre-made Pouches for Pharma Applications

In the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, precision and speed can make all the difference. Glenroy produces pre-made pouches designed for safety, efficiency, and reliability across a variety of applications—such as hygiene wipes, diagnostic test kits, and defibrillator pads.

Features like laser scoring and banding tape ensure fast, linear tears when time is critical, while our engineered laminations provide superior barrier properties and seal integrity. Each pouch is customized to meet your product’s packaging requirements, helping you optimize protection and patient usability.
