The Andex blister packaging team works closely with clients to ensure that the design meets branding and functional needs. After initial designs are approved, production begins with creating printing plates and cutting dies, followed by printing, coating, die-cutting, and final assembly.
The result is a packaging solution that enhances product visibility, security, and appeal on retail shelves! You’ll be proud of displaying the finished product and packaging! With our Andex Sealability Guarantee, we stand behind the quality of our products!
Developing a custom blister package involves a series of precise steps to ensure that the final product meets both the client’s specifications and industry standards. Below is our expanded guide to the custom blister order process, highlighting each phase from inquiry to final delivery.
Ready to get started on your custom blister packaging order? Contact us today!
1. Customer Inquiry
The custom blister packaging process begins when you contact Andex with a new packaging project. Whether the project is for a new product launch or a redesign of existing packaging, our team gathers all the necessary details to understand the customer’s needs and objectives. The more details/file(s) you provide, the better we can be at providing you a finished design you’ll love!
2. Quoting the Project
Once the project details are sent to us, our custom blister packaging team provides you a quote based on the specifications provided. For further assistance or specific questions, you can refer to the contact page on Andex’s website to connect directly with a dedicated project manager.
3. Issuing a Purchase Order
After reviewing the quote, you will issue a purchase order, to authorize our custom blister packaging team to begin pre-press work and production planning. This step officially initiates the development of the custom blister package.
4. File Submission
Next, we’ll ask you to submit an electronic file of the design to Andex. An electronic file is preferred as it allows for easier processing and fewer manual errors. You can refer to the Andex Electronic Imaging Checklist to ensure that the file(s) meet the necessary requirements.
5. File Review: Preflight and UPC Considerations
Andex performs a preflight check to confirm that the submitted file is complete and usable. This involves verifying that the design matches the quoted specifications and checking elements like UPC numbers for accuracy. Any discrepancies may result in adjustments to the quote, and we will communicate any changes promptly to you.
6. Proofing the Project
Next, Andex will provide you with a proof to ensure the blister packaging design meets your expectations. Depending on the complexity of the project, proof options include:
- Digital Proof: Ideal for reviewing original artwork and detailed graphics.
- PDF Proof: Suitable for simpler projects, such as copy changes.
- Press Proof: Available upon request for custom applications, though this may incur additional costs.
- Layout Sheet: Used specifically for skin board applications, which helps visualize the final product in context.
If the project utilizes an existing cutting die, you’ll need to provide a printed press sheet or an electronic file that includes the layout. If a new cutting die is required, you can use a production press sheet to create the cutting die for skin board applications.
7. Proof Approval
Next, you will review the proof and, once satisfied, return a signed approval form to Andex. This approval signifies that the blister packaging design and specifications are correct and that production can proceed.
8. Preparation for Production
Once the proof is approved, we can begin pre-production preparations, including:
- Plate Making: Printing plates are created based on the approved design.
- Cutting Die Production: If a new die is required, it is made at this stage to ensure precise cutting during production.
9. Production Printing and Coating
With all preparations complete, the production order is printed according to the approved design. If the packaging requires any special coatings (e.g., UV coating or matte finish), these are applied during this phase.
10. Die Cutting or Paper Cutting
After printing, the production order is die cut or paper cut based on the specified design. This process gives the blister package its final shape and ensures all elements align correctly.
11. Packing and Shipping
After the blister packages are completed, we carefully pack them to prevent damage during transit. Andex prioritizes secure packaging and timely shipping to ensure your order arrives in pristine condition and are ready for use. We deliver quality packaging on time!
