Types of Blister Packaging
Double Blister Packaging
A double blister packaging is a two-sided type of blister packaging. Unlike ordinary blisters that are one-sided and sealed to a card, double blister packs are two-sided. And, they are not heat sealed to a card. For this type, two pieces of plastic are formed to create a package that allows for product visibility from either side of the pack. They are quite popular in the retail market as an inexpensive solution to increased product visibility and full protection.
Trapped blister packaging
Trapped blister packaging is a type of blister packaging whose manufacturing involves trapping the blister between a single folded card or two different cards. It is a high performing and an alternative to the traditional blister packing techniques.
Heat Seal Blister Packaging
A heat seal blister pack is a type of blister packaging that is made via a heat sealing process. It comprises a single, rigid, thermoformed plastic which is bonded (via heat sealing) to a coated back card. The clear plastic houses the products in a heat seal blister pack while the coated back card helps with marketing and advertising.
Blister Tray
Blister tray packaging refers to a type of pre-form plastic packaging that is of use in the packaging of pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, among others.
Slide Blister
A slide blister packaging is a type of blister packaging that allows for easy opening and closing during packing of the product. The opening and closing mechanism of this type of blister packaging is through sliding of the blister on the cardboard
Thermoformable Blister Packs
Thermoformed blister packs are the most common. The thermoformable blister packaging process involves heating a sheet of plastic or polymer to a temperature where it can be formed using a mold. Thermoformed blister trays are used in medicine and food packaging.
Full Card Blister
Here, the blister extends on all sides and wraps around the paper lid.
Clamshell
Clam shell is a form of packaging that uses a hinged thermoformed sheet of plastic. This is generally used to pack heavier goods. This type of blister packaging can be reused. A two-piece clamshell is also available that uses two plastic sheets instead of a hinge. A tri-fold clamshell has a bottom stand that allows products to stand upright on store shelves.
Choosing Best Blister Packaging
Here are a few things you need to consider that will help you select the best custom made blister packaging to use.
Barrier Properties
Apart from water penetration, blister packaging needs to have barrier properties. Such properties include being airtight.
Also, adequate blister packaging should be waterproof, which ensures any form of liquid or moisture does not get in contact with your product.By doing so, the product will remain fresh and safe for its intended purpose.
Water resistance
The thermoformed polymer protects the inner contents from water, water vapour or any other liquids. However, the degree of water resistance of the entire packaging also depends on the rear cover. If the blister packaging uses a paper-based sheet for the rear lid, then the water resistance is degraded.
· UV Protection
By controlling the transparency of the blister package, it can prevent penetration of UV light to the contents of the package.
The UV light can have an adverse effect on your product hence the need to ensure you select the best blister package.
Tamper-proof
The recycling of the blister packages is very ineffective due to the manufacturing process. By tampering with it, the likelihood of contamination of the product is relatively high.
Hence, for you to select the best blister packaging, you need to ensure that it is tamper proof.
· Product Visibility
An effective blister package is one that allows for the visibility of the product. Visibility will enable customers to make informed decisions about the product.
In medicines, visibility helps customers to check the tablets or capsules properly before purchasing.
· Good Chemical Resistance
There is a need to ensure that the blister packaging has a high chemical resistance to prevent contamination of the product.
This ensures that it does not react with your product, which may lead to poisonous substances.
· Environmentally Friendly
For the safety of the environment, you need to ensure that the blister packaging is safe to the environment. The use of recyclable material is highly encouraged.
· Allows for printability
An effective blister packaging is one that allows for printability on its surface. Certain information needs to be printed on the surface of the blister package to inform the customers.
However, such printing should not react with either the blister package or the product.
How do we produce tailor made blister packages?
We are using a high-volume, fully-automated industrial blister packaging machine.The whole process is including the following stages:
- First, we are forming a heat-sealed blister by the usage of an aluminium resin tool.
- By using a special printing process, first the cardboard backing is printed and within the special heat, plastic blisters get stuck to it.
- The product is placed in the card added packages and sewed by the sealing jig.
- Hot metal plates are applied and as a last stage, the ready blister packs are getting packaged for distribution.
