Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/03/2016 -- Blister packaging is a kind of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods, pharmaceutical drugs, and medical devices. A blister pack is made of aluminum foil or plastic with a cavity or pocket made from thermoformed plastic. It helps protect products from contamination and external conditions such as humidity. These packs are manufactured primarily through two processes: thermoforming and cold forming. Blister packs are used to package pharmaceutical products such as OTC drugs and medicines, as well as small medical devices. A blister that folds onto itself is known as a clamshell.

The prices of raw materials used to manufacture blister packaging products, especially plastic and aluminum, are volatile. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the demand-supply gap, which has led to a substantial increase in raw material prices. The escalating prices of raw materials such as plastic resins increase manufacturing costs and reduce the profit margins of vendors. Vendors are under pressure because of intense competition. Rising inflation and shortage of good quality raw materials, especially biodegradable raw materials, have also contributed to increasing in prices. To overcome this challenge, manufacturers of blister packaging are trying to develop new packaging materials and packages that perform optimally at reduced costs.

Vendors use improved raw materials in blister packs to provide maximum protection for products, especially medicines and medical equipment. For instance, plastics can be molded into any shape to safeguard the product against impurities. They also offer better solutions for shipment, protection, and storage of intricate and expensive medical devices than glass or paper-based packaging materials. In addition, thermoformed blister packaging of pharmaceutical products provides the flexibility, chemical resistance, transparency, and durability to enhance safety and efficiency in laboratory, hospital, and household use.
