TYPES OF BLISTER PACKAGE

Blister packaging, Blister Packs, or simply blisters, are terms used to describe several types of pre-formed clear plastic cavities typically used for securely packaging small consumer goods. Often these packages will hang on a merchandising wall. The components of a blister pack consist of a cavity, pocket, or bubble made from clear plastic and a backing (often a paperboard card). It is common to integrate a hanging element of various styles into either the plastic or the backing. 

Bubble or Cavity

To design the bubble or cavity, customers can send in a sample of the product to be packaged (or a drawing of the design). From either of these, a mold is engineered that will produce a clear, plastic bubble. The type of blister package chosen will affect the cavity design and this includes the type of material, such as PVC or PET plastic.

Card or Backboard While the transparent blister allows one to see the product, most blister packages also include some type of blister card or paperboard. This card (or cards) provides space for graphics and product information which serves to inform and grab the buyer’s attention.

Face-seal blister packages are one of the least expensive clear packaging options available. Face seal blisters are often used to package small, lightweight items. However, this carded blister packaging style has been successful for some hand tools, perfumes, games and toys to name a few. We have several consultants on staff to help in deciding the best packaging option for you.

Full Face Seal Blisters

Full face-seal blister packages utilize the same approach as a face-seal blister, but feature a plastic blister that covers the full face of the package. By fully covering the blister card, full face-seal blisters create a more durable package – minimizing potential damage to the blister card and reinforcing any hanger feature.

Slide blister packaging

Slide blister packaging is designed with flanges that wrap around three sides of an insert card. The card can slide into the blister, securing the card. The primary benefit of the slide blister is that it can be assembled without the use of any sealing equipment. In fact, it is often secured with a staple or tape. The slide blister is especially useful for lightweight and flat items, but design engineers are ready to work with your requirements to produce a functional, attractive and secure blister packaging option.
