Solid medicine packaging often adopts aluminum-plastic blister packaging, which is formed by placing the medicine into a blister or blister box of a blister-formed plastic sheet, and then thermally gluing the plastic sheet to an aluminum foil that has been printed and coated with a protective agent and adhesive. Aluminum foil plays a key role as a barrier material.
The main alloys commonly used for blister aluminum foil are 8021 aluminum foil and 8011 aluminum foil.

8021 aluminum foil has excellent electrical conductivity and light-shielding properties, high moisture resistance, gas barrier and flavor retention, can block any gas, water vapor and light, and can effectively protect the packaged objects. The medicine blister packaging made of it has the advantages of good protection performance, small storage space, low cost, light weight and easy to carry, and is one of the most widely used medicine packaging forms.
