Pharmaceutical Packaging South Africa — High-Barrier Sachets & Tamper-Evident Pouches
Flexweb manufactures HACCP and BRC-certified flexible packaging for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and OTC brands at our Germiston facility — high-barrier PET/Alu/PE laminates, tamper-evident pouches and sachets with OTR specification support and full batch traceability.
High-barrier packaging under certified, controlled manufacture
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products demand packaging that protects active ingredients from moisture and oxygen, maintains seal integrity through distribution, and is produced under auditable hygiene conditions. Flexweb manufactures high-barrier flexible packaging in Germiston under BRC, ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP certification.
Our technical team works with formulation chemists and packaging engineers to specify laminate structures — including PET/Alu/PE and OPA-containing films — with documented OTR and WVTR targets. Batch traceability from raw material to finished sachet or pouch supports your quality management system.
- PET/Alu/PE & OPA structures — ultra-high barrier laminates for moisture-sensitive powders, tablets and supplement formats.
- OTR & WVTR specification — in-house technical support to match barrier performance to product stability requirements.
- Tamper-evident features — tear notches, seal patterns and closure options for OTC and consumer-facing pharma packs.
- HACCP-controlled production — hygiene-managed manufacturing environment with documented food safety management.
Flexible packaging formats for pharma, nutraceutical and OTC
High-Barrier Sachets
3-side and 4-side seal sachets in PET/Alu/PE and OPA structures for powders, granules and single-dose formats. Low OTR for oxidation-sensitive actives.
Pouch & sachet formats →Tamper-Evident Pouches
Stand-up pouches with tamper-evident closures, tear notches and seal integrity features for OTC products, supplements and consumer pharma formats.
Printed pouches →PET/Alu/PE Barrier Laminates
Ultra-high barrier multi-layer films with aluminium foil cores for maximum moisture and oxygen protection. Custom widths for sachet and pouch converting.
Barrier films →Printed Laminates
Reverse-printed laminates for regulatory-compliant artwork, batch coding areas and consumer information panels on pharma and supplement packs.
Printed laminates →Roll-Form Films
High-barrier roll-stock for automated sachet and stick-pack filling lines. Matched slit widths and sealant layers for your equipment.

OTR-matched structures for product stability
Getting barrier specification wrong is costly — under-specified films lead to product degradation; over-specified films add unnecessary cost. Flexweb's technical team specifies PET/Alu/PE, OPA/Alu/PE and high-barrier PET/PE structures with target OTR and WVTR values matched to your stability data.
Our in-house lamination and quality control processes include barrier testing support. For a deeper guide on matching film structures to shelf life, see our article on barrier film specifications for shelf life in South Africa.
