Flextrus HiLite and NP materials
Thermoformable base webs for healthcare products
Flextrus HiLite and NP is a range of formable packaging materials that can serve as part of an integral healthcare pack. Different properties within this range include much more than just excellent formability. The range offers transparency, high barrier levels as well as tailor-made sealing features. Advanced wound care, syringes, gloves and catheters are a few examples of medical devices that are packed with our HiLite and NP range but they can be just as well suited for pharmaceutical and nutritional powders or personal care products.
Flextrus HiLite and NP materials are ideally matched and fully compatible with our wide range of Flexpeel® Paper and Flexpeel® Film products in forming, for instance, an integral sterile barrier system. Flextrus is ready to help you match the right product and on-pack design to cover your specific requirements.
