Pharmaceutical blister packaging is the most common pharmaceutical packaging, with the advantages of hygiene and convenience. Blister packaging refers to "a packaging method in which the product is sealed between the blister formed by transparent PVC film and the base plate (8011 aluminum foil, plastic film, cardboard, etc.)". Invented and promoted in Germany in the late 1950s, it was first used for the packaging of tablets, pills and capsules.
When taking medicine, the tablets in the blister packaging can break through the aluminum foil (MC aluminum product) by squeezing the small bubbles by hand, so some people call it a foaming or press-through packaging.
Blister packaging is light in weight and easy to transport; it has good sealing performance and can prevent moisture, dust, pollution, theft and breakage; it can package any special-shaped products; it does not use additional cushioning materials for packaging, and it has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, convenient use, and easy sales. In addition, it has the advantages of not mixing and taking tablets and not wasting. Therefore, this packaging method has developed rapidly in recent years.
Types of blister packaging
Thermoforming blister (Thermoforming): Use thermoplastics to heat and shape, then fill with medicines, and then seal with aluminum foil.
Cold forming blister (Cold Forming): Aluminum foil is formed by mechanical stamping without heating, which is suitable for highly sensitive drugs.
Characteristics of blister packaging:
1. Good protection: Because the blister packaging has good sealing, it can be waterproof, moisture-proof, dust-proof, and rust-proof, extending the protection period. At the same time, it creates conditions for vapor phase rust-proof packaging, and the anti-rust effect is better when combined with vapor phase rust inhibitors.
2. Transparent and intuitive: It is easy to see the shape and size of the product through the transparent blister. The substrate can print basic information such as product code, name, specification number and barcode, which is convenient for the identification and number counting of equipment in the package to avoid errors in sending and receiving.
3. Easy to use: The blister packaging is easy to open and easy to use. When using a single product, it does not affect the sealing and protection of other products.
4. Heavy and light: The blister packaging is light in weight. In addition, the blister has a certain elasticity, so it has a certain cushioning performance. No additional cushioning is needed when packing, which saves storage space and reduces packaging costs.
5. High safety: Blister packaging usually adopts a design that is not easy to open, which can prevent children from accidentally eating.
