Blister Packaging
We handle orders from 100 to 100,000 pieces
Blister Packaging is a pre-formed type of plastic packaging that creates a small cavity for the consumer product in the package.
Blister packs often help goods to be tamper and theft-resistant. Blister packs are advantageous for protecting products from external elements.
Examples of common blister packs are pens, batteries, chapstick, combs, and much more. These are often used by manufacturers of products so they can be sold in retail stores.

What is a Blister Pack
Blister packs are typically made of lidding material and forming film.
Blister packs are made of at least 3 items:
A blister card, which is a special card that is printed with wax-free inks that allows the adhesive go through the ink into the fibers of the card. We can handle the whole job, or only part of it. The choice is yours.
The blister, which is clear plastic form made into various shapes and sizes. The plastic form is then put onto the sealing die along with the product and sealed to the card, by way of heat and pressure.
The consumer product, are now being displayed on the card.

How Blister Packs are made
We start by designing the blister and making the molds in-house. Then we form the blisters on a vacuum-forming machine. At this station, the blisters are formed by way of heat and vacuum. We heat the plastic and suck it over the molds. Then we die cut them. The blisters are typically made of clear PETG or PVC in .010-.030 thickness. The blister card is typically a 21pt printed card with 4-color process on the front and black and white on the back. Once the blisters and the cards are completed, we make a sealing die that will be used to package the items together with heat and pressure. After the sealing dies are completed, we put in the blister. Then the item is to be packaged, followed by the blister card. It is then sealed into the blister-sealing machine and, with heat and pressure; the blister is sealed to the card holding your item. You now have a blister pack.
After that is done, Tully Products will pack the blister packs into a carton. They can be packed in bulk or small quantities. We strive to meet your needs as quickly as possible and offer to ship them back to you or drop ship them directly to your customers.
Who can take advantage of using Blister Packs
Manufacturers of small products that need to sell their products to consumers can benefit from blister packs. A printed blister card can show how the product can be used, or what it really is. The see-through package displays the product and protects it against outside elements. The packaging also keeps the product clean.
