At first, China began to introduce equipment, technology and raw materials in the 1980s. In the 1990s, China has been able to manufacture single-color or multi-color PTP aluminum foil printing and coating equipment for domestic pharmaceutical packaging enterprises. At present, China's PTP aluminum foil gravure printing equipment has been able to meet the demand of domestic pharmaceutical packaging. Since blister packaging is widely used, it is the fastest growing soft packaging material in recent years, and also food and health care products Main packaging forms in other fields such as pharmaceuticals.

At present, the surface printing of PTP aluminum foil for blister packaging is very simple, and monochrome printing is quite common. There are almost no anti-counterfeiting marks and special anti-counterfeiting materials and means, which provides convenience for counterfeiters to prevent and counterfeit. It is reported that there are nearly 10 kinds of anti-counterfeiting marks on a palm-size medicine box in western countries. It uses the anti-counterfeiting marks that can be recognized by the naked eye, such as microfilming, glazing and gravure printing technology on the banknote. In addition, on the surface of drug blister packaging, foreign people have adopted the PTP aluminum foil product with laser holographic dark pattern anti-counterfeiting. Its advantages are that the laser holographic pattern is intuitive and easy for consumers to identify, It will not affect the original printing design and product packaging appearance, and will not affect the performance of using PTP aluminum foil material. This anti-counterfeiting product is the anti-counterfeiting means adopted by many multinational pharmaceutical group companies at present. The application of invisible fluorescent anti-counterfeiting PTP aluminum foil material is also one of the development trends of pharmaceutical packaging technology in the future. This kind of anti-counterfeiting effect is relatively hidden and difficult to observe with the naked eye, but the anti-counterfeiting mark or pattern text will be obviously exposed under the ultraviolet light. At present, some blister packaging manufacturers in China have been applying it.
