Slide Blister Packaging | Edge Bending Packaging UK

Platt Packing is one of the UK’s leading slide blister packaging factories, which means, we offer various types of blister packaging solutions. Our stock slide blister packaging is perfect for maintaining product integrity until consumer use, making it an ideal option for retail goods, pharmaceutical items, and food products. If you’re into branding, blister packs also offer an increased and free marketing opportunity, where you can display everything from brand logos and bright colours and graphics to product information.

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 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.
