Provided are an ink for a PTP package, which is a counterfeit prevention ink for use in a PTP package, has excellent invisibility, can be efficiently read by a scanner having sensitivity in a near infrared region, is highly durable, and can be used for a material of a PTP package, particularly an aluminum substrate; and an ink composition for use therefor. An ink composition for a PTP package, containing vanadyl naphthalocyanine represented by Formula (I): ##STR00001## and a resin. The resin is preferably at least one selected from a cellulose-based resin, a vinyl-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, a polyimide-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, a polyurethane-based resin, a polyester-based resin, a polyester urethane-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, a polyolefin-based resin, a polyacrylic resin, and a polycarbonate-based resin.

Child-resistant packaging (1), which comprises at least one blister card (10), known per se, with a carrier film (20) and a cover film (30), wherein the carrier film (20) forms, with at least one blister cavity (25) for receiving a packing product (40), a top side (11) of the blister card (10), and the cover film (30) is connected extensively to the carrier film (20), closes the blister cavity (25) filled with the packing product (40), and forms an underside (12), located opposite the top side (11), of the blister card (10). At least one backing card (50) is fastened in a movable manner at two opposite side edges (15, 16) or peripheral portions (17, 18) of the blister card (10), said backing card (50) resting in a planar manner against the underside (12) of the blister card (10) in a securing position (70) and in the process securing the enclosed packing product (40) against unintentional removal, wherein the backing card (50) is transferable reversibly from the securing position (70) into a removal position (80) by means of external force application (90) by mirror-inverted compression (91, 92) of two mutually opposite packaging portions (5, 6), wherein, during the external force application (90), the backing card (50) is spaced apart from the underside (12) of the blister card (10), forming a packaging interior (100), and the packing product (40) can be released into and removed from the packaging interior (100) by pushing through (35) the cover film (30).

Methods for making films including a water-soluble polymeric material and a vapor-deposited inorganic coating are disclosed. The method comprises providing a layer of water-soluble polymeric material and vapor depositing an inorganic coating to at least one surface of the layer of water-soluble polymeric material, wherein the inorganic coating comprises a metal oxide. The method further comprises forming a plurality of microfractures extending along the surface of the inorganic coating.

A mold configuration for forming a pocket in a film comprising: a film support surface; a perimeter edge at said film support surface; wall surfaces inward of the perimeter edge defining a mold cavity; the wall surfaces including transition wall surfaces extending to a bottom wall surface; and a plateau surface inward of the perimeter edge. In one form, the perimeter edge includes sharp corner profile perimeter edge portions defining at least one sharp corner profile. A method of forming a pouch, includes using the disclosed mold configuration.
