Under the dual challenges of the global upgrading of the plastic restriction policies and the tightening of pharmaceutical safety standards, the new-generation high-barrier PET blister packaging solution, "EcoShield Pro", has been introduced. Through breakthrough material modification technology, while maintaining the environmental advantages of PET, this product achieves top-level barrier performance with an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of less than 0.5 cm³/m²·day·atm and a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of less than 0.3 g/m²·day. It provides the pharmaceutical and food industries with a new packaging option that combines sustainability and ultra-high protection.
