Covers Carriers Cases When it comes to saving materials, costs, and resources, this is the lidding foil of choice. That’s why we call it “SALVA”, the Latin word for “saved”. Benefits at a glance: • Significant cost savings • 23% lighter • Less aluminum • Good printability An economical & material-efficient solution. What is SALVA? Not all pharmaceutical products have the same requirements when it comes to barrier protection. While meeting minimum standards of protection is obviously essential, economic considerations are at least equally as important. SALVA is a cost-effective solution for products that do not require the protection of a more advanced blister lidding foil. At Constantia Flexibles, our prime concern is saving lives; with SALVA, we can also help our clients save unnecessarily high costs. Relative to other blister lidding solutions, SALVA delivers benefits in price, weight, aluminum content, and barrier properties.

Using this lighter foil means 23% more m2 packaging material per kg as compared to conventional products. Relying on a thinner layer of aluminum means you are less sensitive to fluctuations in raw material prices on the LME – the aluminum content is 90% for standard blister lidding foil and only 40% for SALVA. Choosing this extremely sustainable solution also means using less aluminum, less heat-seal lacquer, and more of the renewable resource paper, but without compromising on protection. SALVA’s barrier properties are five times more effective against water vapor than unformed PVC 200/PVdC 60-base film, making it suitable for any products that use a PVdC-c
