What Is Strip Packaging?
Strip packaging, also known as SP packaging, is a form of packaging that uses a laminated film. This film typically consists of a thermoplastic polymer layer, such as low-density polyethylene, over materials like aluminum foil or cellophane.
SP packaging is known for its excellent moisture-proof, gas barrier, and light shielding properties. It is designed to store contents without exposure to air, making it a hygienic solution for single-use products that are disposed of after use.
Uses of Strip Packaging
Strip packaging is widely used for packing dispensed products such as dispersions and granules. It utilizes special film pouches, making it ideal for the primary packaging of portable items like tablets for emergency medication.
This packaging method is also common for over-the-counter drugs displayed in convenience stores and drugstores. It is suitable for products that require light shielding, and can also be made with transparent films to allow visibility of the contents. Strip packaging’s small quantity packaging makes it highly portable, and convenient for daily use or travel.
