Toyo Aluminium to Triple Specialized PTP Sales in 3 Years

Osaka based aluminium manufacturer, Toyo Aluminium plans to expand aluminium foil sales for medicines and chemical goods. The firm regards 3 type press through packages (PTP) as strategic products those which are colored PTP, film coated PTP and damp proof PTP. These products have been already adopted by foreign pharmaceutical companies’ subsidiaries in Japan. Toyo Aluminium aims to cultivate the demand from domestic pharmaceutical makers and to triple the sales of these products to 6 million square meters in fiscal 2012 ending in March 2013 compared with fiscal 2009.

Colored PTP is covered by specialized color coat which is able to print barcode directly. Film coated PTP is covered by temper-proof film to prevent unnecessary pill output without film removal. Damp proof PTP adopts aluminium foil substitute for pill coating plastic in order to prevent property change of pills by sunlight or moisture. This PTP also shows better forming, stability and sealing.
