Ultimate Guide to Blister Packing Machines: Features, Benefits, and Applications
What is a Blister Packing Machine?
A blister packing machine is a type of packaging equipment used to form a cavity or pocket made from a formable web material—usually plastic—that securely holds tablets, capsules, ampoules, or other small medical or industrial products. These machines seal the product with an aluminum or film cover, creating a “blister” pack that protects the product while allowing visibility and easy dispensing.
How Does a Blister Packing Machine Work?
The working process generally includes:
- Forming: A plastic film is heated and formed into cavities.
- Filling: Tablets, capsules, or other items are dropped into the formed pockets.
- Sealing: A lidding material (usually aluminum foil) is heat-sealed onto the filled cavities.
- Cutting: The sealed strip is cut into individual blister cards.
This automatic process ensures speed, hygiene, and packaging precision.
