Why Custom Blister Packing Is Great for Medical Supplies and Products

When plastic or foil is shaped around a product to form an airtight compartment for a single item, it is considered to have blister packing. Blister packing is a clean, dust-free packaging solution.

Blister packing is typically associated with products like batteries and toy cars, but it provides many advantages for medical products as well. Whether you need to package food, filters, or capsules, here are the reasons to consider blister packaging:

Freshness

There are many pharmaceutical products that need to be used in single servings. Therefore, the individual compartments associated with blister packing help greatly when dealing with medications and herbs. They are sealed tight, so opening one individual area of the package will not compromise the rest of the products.

Customization

Whether you choose thermoformed blister packing (which makes the clear plastic compartments) or cold form blistering (which surrounds your product with a protective foil film), blister packing is literally made for your product. The packaging manufacturer will customize your packaging according to the number of items and size that your product needs.

Security

With standard boxes, there is always the risk that the item will bounce around during the shipping process. This could compromise the integrity of the product before the customer even purchases it. With blister packing, each compartment fits firmly around the item, so there is small chance for movement at any part of the process.

Dosage

Consumers benefit greatly when the dosages for their foods and medicines are already portioned out evenly, so they don’t use too much or too little of a certain medicine at any one time. This is a major benefit in the medical industry because the drug instantly becomes safer and more convenient for consumers to use.

Visibility

With a clear, plastic front, these packages make it easy for customers to see exactly what they are getting before deciding to purchase it. This provides much-needed reassurance to customers. Additionally, because there is still a layer of protection, people will be unable to tamper with the products or steal them.
