In determining the best packaging for over-the-counter or prescription medications, or even for supplements and herbal or holistic pills, capsules and tablets, blister packaging should be a consideration.
Blister cards allow for individual or individual dosage packaging or the product in user-friendly packing options. Blister packaging offers several advantages over larger bulk bottling and, with new production technology, it is a cost-effective option to consider.
Small to Large Sizes and Sizes for Inner and Outer Packaging
The advantage of blister cards is that they are incredibly flexible in design and manufacturing possibilities. While they may the traditional squares or rectangles found in standard sizes and shapes of outer cardboard boxes and containers, they can also be uniquely shaped.
Round, triangular or long, thin strips, these cards can be developed to suit the size of the pills or capsules as well as to make a marketing statement. They are also perfect for sample kits for doctors and medical facilities because of the varieties of options possible.
Additional Product Safety
Today, consumers are more concerned about product safety than ever in the past. By using blister cards, each dosage is protected with the formed polymer front of the package and the foil or combination backing of the package. Additionally, the outer packaging can also have a seal, providing full security for the contents.
Marketing and Display Possibilities
When using blister packaging inside a cardboard outer box, it is possible to create a variety of marketing and display options. Tabs can be used on outer packaging for hanging displays while boxes can also be stacked in a display case on a shelf.
This provides great possibilities to make the product stand out from the competition. The blister packaging, as well as the outer box, provides ideal space for branding, dosage instructions or drug facts.
