Blister card packaging is a type of packaging that consists of a blister pack and a blister card. The blister pack is a transparent plastic container that holds the product securely, while the sliding card is a cardboard or plastic card that covers the blister pack and allows it to slide in and out.
The blister pack is usually made of PVC or PET plastic and is molded to fit the product. It has a cavity that holds the product and a plastic film that seals the product inside. The sliding card is designed to fit over the blister pack and has a cutout or window that allows the product to be visible.
To use blister card packaging, the consumer slides the card to reveal the product inside the blister pack. This type of packaging is commonly used for small consumer goods such as toys, electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It provides protection for the product, allows for easy visibility and access, and can be customized with branding and product information.

Blister packaging is often used for hygiene, cosmetics, DIY, stationery, food and many other products. They are always used wherever products ought to be almost completely visible, but protected at the same time, hence why they are also frequently referred to as 'visibility packaging'. Blister packaging comprises a cardboard blister card, the colour and blister coating layers, the contents (product) and usually a plastic cover. These components must be perfectly coordinated with one another if they are to achieve a high-quality result.
Types of Blister Packaging
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.
Face Seal Blister
In this form of packaging, a formed plastic sheet having the shape of the product is heat sealed to a paperboard. A full-face seal blister has the plastic packaging from edge to edge of the packaging.
Trapped Blister
This type of packaging uses a single thermoformed sheet trapped inside die-cut cardboard. No sealing tools are required for this.
Full Card Blister
Here, the blister extends on all sides and wraps around the paper lid.
Clamshell
Clamshell 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.
Skin Packaging
This manufacturing technique uses heating and vacuum to form the blisters. The products themselves are used as the molds. The product is sandwiched between heated plastic sheets and the air in the middle part is vacuumed.
Materials of Blister Card Packaging
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
This is the most widely used material for blister packaging due to its low cost and ease of forming. PVC dominates around 95% of the blister packaging market. The PVC forming film is rigid because of the absence of any plasticizers or softening agents. Due to its toughness and clarity, it is ideal for protecting goods while adding value by allowing prospective buyers to see the product. Moreover, PVC films have good barrier characteristics and chemical resistance. The typical thickness of the forming film is in the range of 0.08-0.012 inches (0.2 to 0.3 mm). Since heating is an integral operation in PVC film forming processes, stabilizers are added to withstand the thermal and shear conditions throughout the process. Stabilizers must be FDA approved for food contact applications
Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC)
PVDC, though not a forming film material in itself, is applied to other substrates such as PVC and aluminum to impart better barrier properties by a factor of five to ten. PVDC coatings are one of the few compounds that can provide both moisture and oxygen barriers. Other desirable characteristics of PVDC are heat-seal ability, high gloss, transparency, and flexibility. These are applied not only to the forming film but also to the lidding structure as well. PVDC is applied on the surface in contact with the product. Like PVC, it can also undergo thermally induced dehydrochlorination, which threatens the environment.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene emerged as an alternative forming film to PVC. Its water vapor permeability is comparable to PVDC-coated PVC. It is preferred in some regulated regions since it does not produce harmful chemicals when incinerated. Also, it can easily be recycled than PVC. Its main disadvantage is the difficulty of processing. PP cannot be readily fed to a standard blister packing machine. The range of operating temperatures for thermoforming PP is very narrow and must be controlled precisely. Warping and post-processing shrinkage can occur, which decreases the quality of packaging.
Polyethylene (PET)
Another candidate to replace PVC is PET. Polyethylene is used for packaging food and consumer goods but is less often for blister packaging of medicines. This is because PET has a higher water vapor permeability than PVC. It can be solved by adding a layer of PVDC, but it defeats the purpose of preventing the release of harmful gases.
Advantages of Blister Card Packaging
Wide Variety
Blister packaging comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and strengths. The different variations mean you can choose the packaging solution that best protects your products based on how you intend to transport them.
Keeps Items Fresh
For long-haul shipping, blister packaging can protect perishables from air and moisture exposure, minimizing deterioration. Foods and medications are protected from environmental factor-induced spoilage when packaged in blister packs. Blister packaging is usually water-resistant, and it protects against ultraviolet (UV) light and any impacts so your products remain fresh and undamaged throughout the duration of the journey.
Security
Shipping medications raises concerns that the product could be tampered with. Blister packaging makes it difficult for a non-intended recipient to access the product, and it's easy to tell when blister packs have already been opened, making them safe vehicles for transporting medications.
Cost-Effective
Blister packaging can reduce shipping costs because it reduces the need for additional packaging. Plus, they can be customized in a variety of ways to fit any product, which makes items easier to store in cardboard boxes for bulk shipping.

Blister Packaging Process
Forming
Blister cavities or pockets are created by a forming die, whether thermoforming or cold forming.
Filling
Products to be packaged are placed into the formed cavities at the filling station of a blister packaging machine.
Sealing
After the products are filled, the backing material (usually a paperboard, foil, or plastic sheet) is heat-sealed to the blister cavity to enclose the product securely.
