Everything you need to know about blister packing

Packaging that is created by clamping and heating sheets of plastic is known as Blister packaging the packaging is shaped it into the shape of a 'blister,' which fully surrounds the products. Blister packing production is the process of creating blister packaging.




A typical blister pack with a cardboard back is called as a face seal blister. To enclose and maintain the products, the plastic blister is placed on the front of the cardboard. More information about the many forms of blister packing may be found below.

Blister packaging can be made in any shape, including a uniform shape for tablets or a distinctive shape for a product that doesn’t have a proper shape.
 
Blister packs are commonly used to package the following items:
  • Accessories and electronic
  • Batteries
  • Toys
  • Pills and capsules
  • Sensitive components
  • Breakable items
  • Tooth brushes
  • Dental floss
  • Stationery
What are the different forms of blister packaging?

Blister packaging's objective is to keep the goods safe. If the design of a product makes some elements susceptible,blister packing can protect them in a manner that a bag or box can't.

Pills are almost typically stored in blister packs because they help keep things clean and hygienic. They're also impervious to manipulation. To put it another way, if a pack of pills was tampered with (say, by removing some of the contents), a crack in the packaging would reveal it.

The most common types are listed and explained below:

Blister packaging - face seal
A heat-sealed plastic blister connected to a cardboard backing protects the goods. This style of blister packaging is typically used for goods that are made in big quantities due to its low cost.

Blister protects not just the products but also the card's backside. On one side, the plastic is heat-sealed to the card, while on the other, it is slipped through additional plastic parts. This blister packaging style is designed for making the product more durable and attractive (the edges, for example, are more difficult to bend).
 
Full card blister packaging
Like the full face seal blister, the blister covers the entire card. It features a flange that wraps the card rather than being welded to the card. Cards are placed and secured as needed.

Trapped Blister
The trapped blister pack is similar to a regular blister pack, except that the plastic parts that adhere to the cardboard are sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard that match the shape of the blister. Then place the plastic between the two boxes. The top of the card is die-cut to fit the blister containing the item. Manufacturing such blister packs is cheaper than using heat sealing technology. The front box is clearly torn for added protection against operation. Laminating plastic also improves the aesthetics.

Clamshell
A blister pack in the shape of a clamshell. To make a closed container, two sides of a hinged blister are folded together. Unlike blister packs, clamshell packets do not include a cardboard liner. Rather, it features a plastic spine that is hinged to the front or bottom of the pack. Some are designed to stand upright on store shelves, while others include holes on the back that allow them to be hung. They might be heat-sealed or have a button to close them. Depending on the goods inside, the front and back of the foam may be the same size and shape, or they may be different.
