Lumi-Barrier

Enhanced light protection for pharmaceutical secondary packaging

Protect light‑sensitive medicines with Lumi-Barrier — a validated solution that improves light protection inside standard folding cartons, without changing materials, formats, or qualification status.

Light exposure: a critical risk for pharmaceutical products

Pharmaceutical products can be highly sensitive to light. Even minimal exposure may impact stability, quality, or shelf life — especially for sterile products and complex formulations.

At the same time, changes to primary or secondary packaging often occur late in development, when requalification, material changes, or additional components are no longer feasible. Manufacturers are left balancing patient safety, compliance, sustainability, and time‑to‑market.

Lumi-Barrier: improve light protection without changing your packaging

Lumi-Barrier enhances the light‑barrier properties of standard folding cartons by applying a black coating to the inside of the carton.

This increases protection against UV and visible light while maintaining existing packaging designs, materials, and production processes.

For manufacturers, this means improved product protection without added complexity — even at late stages of packaging development.

Scientifically validated light protection

The performance of Lumi-Barrier has been independently validated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV).

Testing confirms:

  • Significantly reduced light transmission versus unprinted cartonboard
  • Reliable performance across UV and visible light spectra
  • Consistent results across multiple production batches

These results provide confidence for use in regulated pharmaceutical environments.

One solution for multiple pharmaceutical applications

Lumi-Barrier can be applied across a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including:

  • Sterile products in vials
  • Oral solid dosage forms
  • Liquids, tablets, and capsules
  • Products stored in original packaging throughout their lifecycle

The solution is compatible with different carton formats and materials, making it suitable for both single products and broader portfolios.

Sustainable light protection for pharmaceutical packaging

Lumi-Barrier uses standard inks and varnishes and avoids additional aluminum or polymer layers.

This maintains full recyclability within existing paper recycling streams and supports sustainability targets — without compromising on protection.

In some cases, Lumi-Barrier can also help reduce the need for higher‑impact packaging alternatives.
