Blister Packs for Pharmaceutical Packaging Needs

The essential role of blister packs for diverse pharmaceutical packaging needs can be realized from the fact that more than eighty-five percent of solid drugs are found packed in blisters.

A decade ago, very few people could think of proper packaging of solid drugs but with the presence of numerous contract manufacturers, it has become simple for individuals to simplify the packaging of their different kinds of supplements and medical drugs.

As far as basic configuration of blister packs is concerned, the packs are designed in different ways. The first way is the one wherein the cavity is designed from thermoformed plastic and the lid is made up of the appropriate combination of paper, plastic and aluminum foil. Another variety or option of packs is designed completely of aluminum foil for both cavity and covers.

The coming of blister pack technology is meant to clearly mark the dose individually for patients. And as compared to other options of conventional packaging, the blister packs are easy to operate and are safe to store the drugs. More reasons for the use of blister packs other than plastic products are- it helps in maintaining the product integrity, tamper evidence, product structure and much more.

Conclusively, the presence of blister packs can be considered of high importance in the modern pharmaceutical industry.
