Our Range of Blister Packaging Types
We offer a wide selection of vacuum formed blister packaging to suit different products, applications and presentation requirements:
Clamshell Blister Packaging: Provides excellent all-round product visibility and can be designed for both self-packaging and automated packaging processes.
Slide Blister Packs: Our two- or three-fold sliding blister packs offer a practical packaging solution while allowing the blister and card components to be separated and recycled after use.
Heat-Sealed Blister Packs: Individual blister packs feature a flat-faced flange that is heat-sealed to an adhesive-coated card. Once the product has been removed, the blister and card can be separated for easier recycling.
Trapped Blister Packs: Similar to heat-sealed blister packs, trapped blisters are secured between two cards, helping to hold the blister and product securely in place while providing an attractive retail presentation.
