Cold form blister packaging, also known as aluminum cold form packaging, is a popular packaging option for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals in the USA. It is made from a formable film, typically laminated with aluminum, that is designed to provide a high level of protection to the contents from moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors that could affect the quality of the product.
The history of cold form blister packaging can be traced back to the 1960s when it was first introduced as an alternative to glass bottles for packaging pharmaceuticals. Over the years, it has become a popular option due to its ability to offer superior protection to the contents, its ease of use, and its tamper-evident design.
The cost of cold form blister packaging depends on several factors, including the size and shape of the blister, the complexity of the design, the material used, and the volume of the order. In general, larger volumes tend to result in lower costs per unit.
When choosing a manufacturer for cold form blister packaging, it’s important to consider their experience and expertise in the field, the quality of their equipment and materials, and their ability to meet the specific needs of your product. It’s also important to ensure that the manufacturer is compliant with industry regulations and standards to ensure the safety and quality of your product. It’s recommended to obtain quotes from multiple manufacturers to compare costs and services before making a decision.
