TOPPAN’s GL BARRIER2 is a brand that enjoys a leading share of the global market for transparent barrier films. The booth will present GL BARRIER’s core proprietary technologies and vertically-integrated supply capabilities connecting film manufacturing to package converting facilities, allowing TOPPAN to flexibly meet the needs of its customers and offer high-quality packaging solutions that contribute to the global pharmaceutical sector.
Main Solutions on Show
・Mono-material PP lidding material for push-through blister packs
TOPPAN is developing a PP-based film for push-through packs, providing push-through and sealing performance to rival that of aluminum foil. Barrier performance is also enabled by incorporating the TOPPAN Group’s barrier vapor deposition technology. Combination with a PP sheet for push-through blisters will facilitate mono-material packaging that meets quality requirements for pharmaceutical products in terms of printability and sealing performance.
・Pharmaceutical inks
TOPPAN will display samples of tablets printed with high-quality inkjet inks developed and designed by employing the TOPPAN Group’s advanced material design technologies. In addition to high-definition fine text, two-color and QR code printing are also possible.
・Transparent high barrier All-PP packaging
TOPPAN will present transparent high barrier ALL-PP mono-material sticks, sachets, and push-through blister outer packaging that use GL-RP, the latest PP-based grade of GL BARRIER
・ALL-PO packaging using aluminum-vapor-deposited film produced in-house
TOPPAN will also showcase high barrier ALL-PO (polyolefin) sticks and sachets that use vacuum-metallized oriented polypropylene (VMOPP) film manufactured by India-based Group company TOPPAN Speciality Films Private Limited, facilitating the supply of high-value-added packaging using barrier film produced in-house.
・Low-adsorption packaging for adhesive patches
The TOPPAN booth will feature packaging with a low-adsorption function for adhesive patches. The use of TOPPAN’s proprietary low-adsorption sealant helps to maintain pharmaceutical quality.

Stable performance is enabled by a multi-layer structure combining a unique coating layer with a high-quality vapor-deposited layer. In recognition of their numerous outstanding features, GL BARRIER products are used in a wide variety of fields, including the food, healthcare/pharmaceutical, and industrial materials sectors. Combining the functions of the printing and barrier substrate layers into a single layer provides an alternative to aluminum foil with a streamlined layer structure.
