How We Can Help with Slide Blister Packaging Needs
Edge Bent Blisters are also sometimes referred to as Slide Blisters or Folded Flange Blisters. This type of packing has distinct advantages over Sealed Blister Packing and also Clam Shell Packing. It offers total versatility because you can pack the product yourself meaning that you don’t have to hold a lot of packed stock. You can also change the backing cards to suit individual customers or even different language variants.
It also offers advantages for separating of the packaging waste for recycling. It is ideal for both lower volumes and versatility. The blisters are Thermoformed in the normal way (see Thermoforming) producing the formed shape cut to size. The blank blisters are then folded on 2 or 3 sides ready for a cardboard backing card to be inserted. The maximum blister length is 500mm with a 15mm fold or flange.
