For ATDP systems (Automated Tablet Dispensing & Packaging systems), a Cellophane-based thin, multilayer film, usually transparent, is employed as a packaging material (also called packing paper or foil). Cellophane can be made in various thicknesses and colours and by the application of softening materials and special coatings, it can be made better tearable, moisture-proof and heat-sealing capable.
Thickness of a Cellophane-based thin film for ATDP systems is around 40-60um. In a multilayer configuration, Cellophane is the carrier upon which other coatings (resin, white bedding, among others) are applied to achieve the correct properties for the application.
