blisterförpackning

Blisterförpackning is a type of packaging commonly used for consumer goods. It consists of a pre-formed plastic blister, typically made from PVC or PET, which is sealed to a backing card, usually made of cardboard. The blister is designed to create a cavity that holds and displays the product.

The primary purpose of blisterförpackning is to protect the product from damage, tampering, and environmental factors such as moisture and dust. The transparent plastic allows consumers to see the product clearly before purchase, which is particularly useful for items like pharmaceuticals, batteries, small electronics, toys, and personal care products.

The manufacturing process involves heating a plastic sheet and then vacuum-forming it over a mold to create the blister shape. This is then filled with the product and sealed to the backing card using heat and pressure. The backing card often features branding, product information, and instructions for use.

Blisterförpackningar offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, ease of handling, and good visibility of the contents. They also provide a degree of security against pilferage. However, they can be challenging to open and may not be suitable for all types of products, especially those that are very large, irregularly shaped, or require significant ventilation. Disposal can also be a concern due to the combination of plastic and cardboard.
