Standard adjective formation from 'puncture' + '-less' meaning 'without punctures' or 'incapable of being punctured', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Punctureless comes from puncture, which comes from an old Latin word meaning 'to prick' or 'make a hole', and the part -less which means 'without'. So, punctureless means 'without holes' or 'not able to be pierced', a useful word for tires, packaging, or materials that must stay sealed.
