Blister cards offer the perfect combination of product protection, visibility, and cost-effectiveness for businesses across all industries.
Secure packaging that prevents tampering and protects products during shipping and display.
Clear plastic showcases your product while keeping it secure, perfect for retail displays.
Our qikCombo program reduces tooling costs by combining multiple SKUs in one production run.
Fast production and delivery times get your products to market faster.
In the world of retail packaging, one size does not fit all. We engineer distinct configurations to meet unique rigidity, display, and theft-resistance requirements.
The industry standard for efficiency. A thermoformed plastic blister is heat-sealed directly to the front of a coated paperboard card. Ideal for high-volume, lightweight products.
Enhanced durability where the plastic flange extends to the edges of the card. This creates a semi-rigid "exoskeleton" that reinforces the hang-hole, making it virtually tear-proof for heavier hardware.
Security meets sustainability. The blister flange is "trapped" between two separate pieces of card stock. This separates materials for easy recycling while offering maximum theft resistance.
Value engineering for high-end retail. A face seal blister with a wrap-around lip that protects the card edges, simulating the ruggedness of a full plastic clamshell at ~50% of the cost.
| Feature | Face Seal | Full-Face Seal | Trapped Blister | Mock Clamshell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Use Case | Lightweight Retail | Heavy/Premium | High Theft / Eco | Durable Retail |
| Plastic Usage | Low | Medium | Low | Medium |
| Card Reinforcement | Low | High (Fully Covered) | High (Double Card) | High (Edge Lip) |
| Recyclability | Difficult (Mixed) | Difficult | Excellent | Moderate |
We utilize industry-leading materials to ensure performance, sustainability, and compliance.
We use premium Paperboard (including SBS) engineered for optimal blister adhesion and printability, ensuring your brand looks its best.
Our advanced Water-Based Heat Seal Coatings provide superior bond strength without the use of harsh solvents, ensuring an eco-friendly and safe packaging solution.
A failure in Time, Temperature, or Pressure leads to "moon seals" or defects. We employ state-of-the-art technology to ensure zero-defect production.
We have transitioned to Aqueous (Water-Based) Coatings. These eliminate VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) while providing excellent "Hot Tack" to hold the blister in place immediately after sealing.
For heat-sensitive products (chocolates, electronics), we use cohesive adhesives that bond only to themselves under pressure. Zero heat required.
*Parameters optimized to force adhesive into the clay coating and board fibers.
We engineer Heavy-Gauge Blisters and Industrial Dunnage capable of securing heavy metal components like spark plugs, bearings, and brake pads.
Whether you are a startup launching your first product or a multinational optimizing a global SKU, our manufacturing ecosystem adapts to your scale.
Drastically reduced tooling fees and lower Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). We combine multiple clients on a single master sheet to split setup costs.
A Face Seal blister has a visible plastic flange heat-sealed to the front of a single card. A Trapped Blister has the flange sandwiched between two cards (front and back), hiding the plastic edge. Trapped blisters offer superior theft resistance and a cleaner look.
Yes, provided the right materials are chosen. We recommend Trapped Blisters using RPET (Recycled PET) plastic. The trapped design allows the consumer to easily tear the paper card away from the plastic, so each can be placed in its respective recycling bin.
Our qikCombo program combines multiple orders on a single production run. This allows you to order as few as 2,500 to 5,000 units without paying the full cost of custom tooling and setup.
