Bliszterben

Bliszterben is a Hungarian term referring to something located inside a blister packaging, or figuratively, to the state of being contained within a small, sealed form. The word combines the noun bliszter, meaning blister, with the locative suffix -ben, which marks location. In technical contexts, bliszterben is used to describe medicines, vitamins, or other small items presented on blister cards.

Originating from the loanword bliszter (from German Blister or English blister) and the Hungarian noun suffix -ben, the construction is transparent to speakers familiar with packaging terminology.

In everyday language, usage is limited; the expression is mainly found in packaging documentation, product labeling, and some critical discussions about consumer goods design. Metaphorically, it can denote something tightly packed, fragile, or protected within boundaries.

Examples include “a tabletta bliszterben” (the tablet in a blister) or “bliszterben tartott kísérlet” (an experiment kept under sealed conditions) though the latter is less common and more figurative.
