The Role of Blister Packaging Machine

The original blister packaging was mainly used for pharmaceutical packaging. At that time, in order to overcome the inconvenience of taking glass bottles, plastic bottles and other bottled medicines, the large investment in packaging production lines, and the increasing demand for dosage packaging and small tablet packaging, blister packaging appeared in the 1950s and was widely used. Later, through in-depth research and continuous improvement of blister packaging materials, technology and machinery, it has made great progress in packaging quality and speed, as well as economy. Nowadays, in addition to the packaging of pharmaceutical tablets, glues and suppositories, it is also widely used in the packaging of food and daily necessities. If an automatic packaging machine is used, production efficiency can be improved and costs can be reduced.

A blister package that can protect products from moisture, dust, pollution, theft and damage, extend the storage period of goods, and the package is transparent, with instructions for use printed on the substrate, which can provide convenience for consumers. The substrate can also be made into a hanging type and hung on the shelf for easy sales. If some small commodities such as ballpoint pens, knives, cosmetics, etc. are connected together with blister packaging substrates, they are not easy to be stolen in self-selected shopping malls, and they play a role in beautification and publicity.

The blister of the blister pack is large or small, and the shape varies with the shape of the packaged article; there are those with substrates and those without substrates. And there are many types of blister packaging machines. Nevertheless, the basic principle of blister packaging is roughly the same. The typical process is: sheet heating → film forming → filling product → placing substrate → heat sealing → trimming. The above process can be done by a blister packaging machine.
