Launched in the United States on Earth Day, April 22nd 2018, Seed Phytonutrients is intended to be “the most organic brand ever created,” according to its founders. Led by Shane Wolf, International Brand General Manager at L’Oréal and a man with deep roots in farming, Seed Phytonutrients has set itself the task of reconnecting the beauty industry with the land—and that begins with the relationships it forges with farmers.

Push Tab® is a flexible blister solution for tablet packaging. It presents a new child-safe way of opening a strip pack by pushing through the tablet.

The material provides the highest barrier properties with improved shelf life. The barrier properties are not affected in any way by pushing through the film and thus guarantee the highest levels of product safety. The risk of migration is also very low, as the laminate does not contain any solvents. Based on the typical market specification of PET-PE-Alu-PE/Surlyn, Push Tab® is suitable for all climate zones.
