Why Custom Blister Cards?
Blister cards are the basis for most types of blister packaging. They are quite practical, since there are various different types of blister cards for a wide variety of applications, which we’ll discuss in more detail below. Without sacrificing quality, blister cards can still be an environmentally friendly option for packaging and displaying your products.
Custom blister cards can be single cards, but also used in other variations for card combinations. Blisters can be sealed between the front and back cards. These are then bonded, or are designed with a card that is folded and then bonded.

Blister Card FAQs
Below are some frequently asked questions about the function of blister cards and blister packaging:
When it comes to blister packaging, it comprises of a cardboard blister card, the color and blister coating layers, the product safely enclosed inside, and (typically), a plastic cover. The blister card part of the packaging is commonly designed in one of four styles – the classic blister card, used for cosmetics, stationary, etc., the peel blister card, the barrier blister card, and the environmentally-friendly cardboard blister.
Blister card packaging, also called blister packs, is a wide range of pre-formed and rigid packaging styles used to safely contain retail items. It is typically comprised of several components: a cardboard blister card, color and blister coating layers, a plastic cover, and the product that is stored inside. Quality-made blister packaging helps your customers to view the product clearly. Investing in quality blister packaging helps to maintain the quality and freshness of the product, prevent humidity from building up, and keep the product from being contaminated. Blister packaging also provides theft protection and even innovative marketing options.
Although there are different types of blister packaging, typically the process will start using an aluminum resin tool to create a heat-sealed blister. Next, the cardboard back is printed using a special printing process. The blister is then placed into a sealing machine. Next, the product is placed into the blister and the blister card is added. The sealing machine is placed on a rotating turntable and a hot metal plate is applied to the packaging. Once pressure is applied to the hot metal plate, the sealing of the blister to the card occurs. Finally, the turntable rotates again and the finalized blister packaging is removed and packed for distribution.
You’ll find that blister packs will be used to store electronics, toys, toothbrushes, stationery, batteries, DIY goods like screws, nuts, and bolts, and any products that are delicate or may be vulnerable to breaking. Blister packaging safely contains small objects and keeps tiny accessories intact. Blister packs are also tamper-proof, which means if someone has attempted to remove the contents of the packaging.
