Types of blister packaging

Many manufacturers use blister packaging[packaging?:DCP-H series packaging sample cutter plotter] to protect their products from thieves, to allow consumers to see the product and to separate the product from itself, as with pills that come in blister packaging.

There are regulations on how moisture-, oxygen- and light-resistant blister packaging must be. While many different materials can be used to make blister packaging. They can be separated into two categories: cold-formable and thermoformable blister packaging material; the manufacturer should choose a blister packaging material that best works with the product. How the blister packaging holds its contents also is important, because this will determine how the product’s blister packaging will look.

The blister packaging type, or how blister packaging holds the product, is important for marketing and safety purposes. A few types of blister packaging are: Face seal blister packagings that are affixed to the front of cardboard cards; clamshell blister packagings that snap closed and are more theft-resistant because they are difficult to pry open inconspicuously; and blister packagings that come with small pockets to separate and hold a number of pills or items.
