In our factory for the export business part, lots of orders are custom foil paper fill rolls for alcohol pads or swabs. The main packaging materials used for alcohol pads and swabs include:

1. Aluminum Foil Composite Film

• Properties: Aluminum foil has excellent barrier properties, effectively blocking moisture, oxygen, and light, protecting the sterility and alcohol concentration of the swabs. Aluminum foil composite film is lightweight, flexible, and easy to process.
• Application: Aluminum foil composite film is widely used for packaging alcohol swabs, ensuring the sterility and stable alcohol concentration of the swabs.

2. Nylon (Polyamide)

• Properties: Nylon has good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, along with relatively high barrier performance. It is suitable for packaging that requires resistance to high temperatures and freezing.
• Application: Nylon film can be laminated with other materials for alcohol swab packaging to enhance the strength and barrier properties of the packaging.

3. Polyester (PET)

• Properties: PET materials have high transparency and excellent optical and barrier properties. They are commonly used in beverage bottles and other packaging.
• Application: PET film can serve as a transparent window for alcohol swab packaging, showcasing the quality of the swabs.

4. Polyethylene (PE)

• Properties: Polyethylene has good heat-sealing properties, softness, and impact resistance. PE film is often used as the inner layer of composite films.
• Application: PE film can be used as the inner layer of alcohol swab packaging, directly contacting the swabs, providing a soft feel.

5. Paper-based Packaging

• Properties: Paper-based packaging is environmentally friendly, economical, and easy to print. However, single-layer paper packaging cannot provide sufficient barrier properties.
• Application: Paper-based packaging can serve as the outer packaging for alcohol swabs, providing decoration and identification. It usually needs to be laminated with other materials.

In summary, alcohol pad and swab packaging primarily uses aluminum foil composite film, supplemented by lamination with materials such as nylon, PET, and PE, ensuring the sterility and alcohol concentration of the swabs while meeting the strength, softness, and decorative requirements of the packaging. With technological advancements, new high-barrier materials are continuously emerging, bringing more possibilities to alcohol swab packaging.
