Apart from that, you will make blister packaging to pack other products including: food, cosmetics, stationery, toys, gifts, tools, electromechanical parts, etc.

Cosmetics Blister Packaging Cards

3. What are the benefits of blister packaging?

i. Freshness

You will have individual compartments for the items used one at a time that can keep them ready whenever the customer needs.

That is, medications and herbs and other environmentally sensitive items may benefit from blister packaging for this reason.

ii. Good protection

You will see blister packaging has good sealing ability, can be waterproof, moisture-proof, dust-proof, rust-proof, so that could extend the protection period.

Besides, blister packaging has created conditions for VCI packaging, as the prevention effect will be better with VCI.

Using a Medication Blister Pack

iii.Dosage or serving size

For medicines and certain foods, these packages evenly portion out an item so that the consumer does not use too much of the product at once.

Some seasoning blends benefit from blister packs because the company has already predetermined the amount needed for certain recipes.

That is to say, medicine dosing is easier to understand and safer for the consumer when this type of package is used.

iv. Visibility

You can see with the plastic front, these containers allow consumers to view the product before purchasing.

This also provides reassurance to the amount of product contained is as advertised and that all pieces are accounted for.

Even though customers can view the item, they cannot touch them.

As such, the product is safeguarded from thieves and tampering.

Individual compartments for Drugs

v. Security

Blister packaging is the ideal solution for products that need to stay immobilized, as the individualized and generally small compartments do not allow the products to move within the packaging.

In other words, this design protects items from damaging caused in transit.

vi. Customization

You have known that all plastic blisters are thermoformed, so every design is unique to the product being sold.

That is, whatever the size or number of items contained in the blister packaging, it can be customized to fit the needs of the products.

4. Are there any drawbacks of blister packaging?

Blister packaging has so many benefits but also has a drawback as the following reasons:

• Not all pharmaceutical medications can be used for blister packaging 
• You will it will make the patients confuse who used to fixed dosage as it will be hard to take the correct dosage for the not blister packed medicine, which will also increase the risk of disease treatment.

Pills Confusion

• You will also find even the nurse in the nursing home will also find it different to determine the correct medicine dosage since they need to distinguish from the un-packed dosage .
• You will find the whole process of sealing the filled cavities take a little long time.
• Since the back is foil, the packed medicine can be press through the foil through
• You will see the whole aluminum packaging process is longer than normal plastic packaging.
• It will increase your packaging cost if only for small scale manufacturing as it is an expensive machine.

5. What materials are used in blister packaging?

Packaging Film

You will use the plastic film for blister packaging as it has sufficient barrier performance to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor, high transparency and mechanical strength not easy to crack.

In addition, you will also use the rigid plastic films include cellulose, polystyrene, vinyl resin, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, etc. for blister packaging.

While Cellulose such as cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate, cellulose propionate are widely used as they all have excellent transparency and thermoformability, good heat sealing and could resistant to grease.

But the heat sealing temperature of cellulose is generally higher than that of other plastic sheets. Directional tensile polystyrene has excellent transparency, good heat sealing, but poor impact resistance. It is easy to be broken, even worse at low temperature.

The price of vinyl resin is generally cheaper than polystyrene, some are hard and some are soft, and they have better transparency. Besides, it is good in heat sealing with coated cardboard, but the cold resistance and impact strength will be improved when adding plasticizer.

Cellulose used for food packaging

At present, the most widely used pharmaceutical blister packaging material is PVC plastic sheet. Because the drug is very sensitive to moisture and light penetration, it is required to have good barrier performance against water vapor, light and the peculiar smell of plastic sheet.

However, the PVC used currently is not ideal in moisture resistance, you’d better use the polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) or its composite materials in the future.

Another kind of blister packaging material is vacuum aluminized film.

It is a kind of film that precipitates aluminum vapor on the base film under high vacuum. At present, pets, CPP, PVC, OPP, PE, etc. are widely used.

In addition to the characteristics of the original base film, the vacuum aluminizing film, as the base film, also has a beautiful decoration and better barrier performance. The light transmittance, oxygen permeability and moisture permeability are only a few tens or even one percent of the original base film.

Substrate

You will get the most used white cardboard for blister packaging. It is made of bleached kraft wood pulp, or can be made of by the recycled board covering the base layer with white paper.

When using the white cardboard you need to consider the size, shape and quality of the packaging

The thickness range of the whiteboard substrate is 0.35-0.75mm, while the normally used board is 0.45-0.60mm.

White Board For Packaging

Besides, make sure the surface of the substrate is white and glossy, with good printability, and the heat sealing coating could be firmly coated, the substrate and the blister can be closely combined after the heat sealing coating is melted, so as to prevent the contents from falling out.

And you can also choose B-type or E-type coated corrugated paper, coated aluminum foil and various composite materials as the substrate.

Coating material

The coating material you are should be compatible with the substrate and blister, and the temperature should be relatively low, so that it can be sealed quickly without damaging the blister film.

Normally you could use soluble vinyl resin and water-resistant acrylic resin as they have good luster, transparency and heat sealing ability.

6. What is the difference between PVC and PVDC?

You will get to know PVC stands for Polyvinyl chloride and PVDC is polyvinylidene chloride, both are primary materials used in pharmaceuticals.

PVC

As PVC forming film is almost free of softening agents and plasticizer, it is also called rigid PVC.

While no plasticizer, PVC blister owns good structural rigidity and physical protection to the pharmaceutical dosage form.

You will find it is hard to collapse when you press upon the formed web and the blister cavity is just accessible by the push-through effect. And that is also why you need to choose PVC sheet thickness between 200µ to 300µ depending on the cavity size and shape.

PVC Blister packaging

You can see the rigid PVC is very clear, stiff material with low water vapor transmittance. But also has excellent thermoformability, high flexural strength, good chemical resistance, low permeability to oil, fat and flavoring ingredients, easy instability. Last but not least, you will save costs.

Now PVC has almost 100% on the market among the plastic component as its so many qualifications have made rigid PVC become the ideal choice for blister packaging.

While you will find the thermoformed PVC film has a thickness of about 10 mil.

The main disadvantage is poor barrier against moisture ingress and oxygen ingress, but also PVC has a negative environmental connotation due to its chlorine content and highly toxic dioxins.

PVDC

PVDC also called coated PVC. As the laminations or coatings of PVC, PVDC has played an important role in blister packaging. It reduces the gas and moisture permeability of PVC blister packaging by

5-10 times.

You will find the coated PVC films is 8-10 mils thickness while the coated PVDC is 1-2mils.

PVDC offers a wonderful barrier to both oxygen and water vapor, the gas barrier properties are unaffected by relative humidity.

You will find almost all PVDC products on the market are actually copolymers of vinylidene chloride (VDC) and other comonomers while the relative amount of VDC in the copolymer dictates some key properties.

That is, with more VDC, the barrier properties are generally better, with less VDC, flexibility usually improves.

However, the amount and type of comonomer as well as other additives and processing technology used, will influence other properties such as sealing, surface properties, transparency, glossy coefficient of friction, etc.

7. What should be considered when using PVDC for blister packaging?

PVDC is so excellent in blister packaging, so there are some advice when using :

• For the blister machine using PVC film, you no need to change the equipment if PVDC composite material is used instead.
• You should make the PVDC face to the inside and direct contacts with the package during the process of using PVDC composite material 
• If the blister machine has requirements on the unwinding direction of the base material (high-speed blister machine with automatic roll change), in order to ensure that the PVDC surface is on the inside, you must negotiate with the PVDC supplier in advance.
• You should place the PVDC in a room at 22 + 5 ℃ for 3-5 days before using, as its performance can reach to the best as so
• You need to seal the unused PVDC with black PE film and then store it in the warehouse.

• The packaged drugs are used up. 
• Mechanical overload of some stations.
• Circuit overload.

21. How to inspect the medical blister packaging quality?

Inspection requirements for blister packaging

You have known that the main packaging object of blister packaging is solid drugs, to isolate the contained pharmaceutical preparations from the outside.

on the one hand, prevent the volatilization, escape and leakage of the active ingredients of drugs.

Since the volatile pharmaceutical ingredients can be dissolved in the inner side of the packaging materials and spread to the other side under the effect of osmotic pressure, such as solid pharmaceutical preparations containing aromatic ingredients and volatile active ingredients, whose active ingredients are volatile and penetrate some materials.

On the other hand, you will be easy to understand that blister packs can prevent the outside air, water, foreign matters and microorganism from entering and contacting with the medicine.

As there is oxygen, water, a large number of microorganisms and foreign particles contained in the air, you may find they will lead to the oxidation, hydrolysis, degradation, pollution and fermentation of drugs after entering the packaging.

While the PTP aluminum foil and PVC hard disk or PVC / PVDC composite hard disk used for blister packaging will directly contact with the drug, so you should pay special attention to the testing of the material.

The testing items include appearance, barrier performance, tensile strength, impact strength, heat shrinkage and other mechanical properties, as well as health indicators, etc.

You will see below key test items of blister packaging:

Barrier test

The barrier test is the key test item of blister packaging, including the oxygen permeability test and the water vapor permeability test of materials.

Although the standard does not mention the oxygen permeability test of aluminum foil, the indicator is closely related to the number of pinholes.

Therefore, if the number of pinholes of aluminum foil can meet the requirements of the standard, the oxygen permeability generally can meet the use requirements.

Whether it is aluminum foil or PVC material, the material barrier is high in actual use, so when choosing testing equipment, you should pay attention to choose the instrument with high testing accuracy.

In order to test the overall barrier of the blister, you will use special accessories to prepare the sample of the blister, and use the equal pressure method in the oxygen permeability test and the sensor method in the water vapor permeability test to test.

During the whole test, you need to pay special attention to the adjustment of flow rate to avoid the sudden rise and fall of pressure caused by the sharp change of the gas volume in the bubble cap, which will affect the sample state.

In fact, the detection accessories used in the blister can also be applied to the detection of small hollow containers such as capsules, which can easily expand the types of small samples that can be detected.

Thermal strength test

Like other types of packaging, sealing is an important indicator of the practicability of blister packaging, and the heat sealing strength is an important test item to reflect the sealing.

The test method of heat sealing strength is: you will select the appropriate heat sealing parameters according to the specific test standards, and use the heat sealing instrument to measure the size of 100mm × 100mm The PVC or PVC / PVDC composite hard disk is heat-sealed (the bonding layer of aluminum foil is overlapped with PVC).

And then the sample is cut into 15mm wide with a standard cutter, and the middle three strips are peeled 180 ° by a tensile machine (the peeling speed is subject to the requirements of specific testing standards).

22. How to maintain a blister packing machine?

• You will check the screws of all parts of the packaging machine regularly to avoid looseness.
• You will pay attention t the waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion of electrical parts and make clean for the electric control cabinet and wiring terminal to prevent electrical failure.
• When the machine is stopped, you will need to open the two heat sealing rollers to prevent the packaging materials from being damaged by scalding.

AIPAK DPP-260H2 Blister Packaging Machine

• You will need to regularly add oil to the gear mesh of the packaging machine, the oil filling hole of the bearing with seat and the moving parts for lubrication.
• When filling the lubricating oil, you should take care not to drop the oil on the drive belt, so as to prevent slipping, loss of rotation or aging damage of the belt.

23. How to clean the blister packaging machine?

• After shutdown, you will clean the metering part in time to ensure that the blanking plate and rotary table are cleaned in each shift to prevent them from corrosion.
• You also should clean frequently for the heat sealer body to ensure that the seal texture is clear.
• You have to clean regularly the photoelectric tracking head, that is, the electric eye, to ensure the small error of cursor tracking.
• Regularly clean the dust in the electric control box to prevent poor contact and other faults.

24. What is the new innovation In the Blister Packaging market?

Intelligence

Drug safety is not only related to the lives of thousands of families, but also the lives of drug companies.

As important equipment of drug packaging, the continuous progress and breakthrough of the technology of blister packaging machine can not only improve the production efficiency of drug packaging enterprises, but also make the drug safety better guaranteed and the risk further reduced.

Nowadays, you will see some blister packaging machines are more intelligent and smart than before.

 Artificial Intelligence and relationship to Machine

For example, the high-speed blister packaging and automatic cartoning line of an enterprise has realized automatic blister forming, feeding, foam feeding, automatic detection and waste removal, and the drug plate has been automatically queued and transferred to the high-speed automatic box loader bin.

The cantilever aluminum-plastic blister packaging and automatic cartoning line have the new rotating suction head and intelligent conveyor belt drug plate queuing technology, which can achieve 600 plates per minute can be stably queued and sent to the cartridge magazine.

The continuous breakthrough of intelligent automation technology not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also further reduces the manual operation in the aspect of drug safety, making the production cleaner and safer.

Design transformation

In addition, in order to further reduce the risk of drug safety, some enterprises continue to reform in product design.

A major breakthrough is to realize the production of internal and external package isolation. "The setting of this isolation area better isolates the production purification workshop from the non-clean area, making it difficult for bacteria to enter, which makes the drug packaging cleaner, less safety risk and more in line with GMP requirements.
