Keystone Folding Box Co., a designer and manufacturer of paperboard packaging, has introduced a f=1 version of its Key-Pak Child-Resistant blister card suitable for use with cold-form foil (Alu/Alu) blisters. The blister achieves child resistance rating of F=1 and is designed to open easily for seniors and consumers with dexterity challenges.
 
The new Alu-Alu version is suitable for pharma products requiring high barrier protection, as well as delicate or friable oral solid dose products requiring a peel-back opening to prevent physical damage to tablets or capsules. 
  
For high-volume, efficiency-dependent pharma manufacturing settings, Key-Pak features a single-component composition that is designed to streamline production with fewer specifications, inspections, assembly, graphics, engineering and necessary tooling.
  
“Introducing a proven f=1 cold-form, all-aluminum version of our Key-Pak blister card is a logical next step in the product’s evolution and series expansion, providing another option to an already customizable line of solutions,” said Ward Smith, Director of Marketing & Business Development at Keystone Folding Box Co. “Given the recent lead time challenges for traditional blister materials that some pharma companies and contract packagers are experiencing, the product’s timing also aligns with a defined market need.”
