Critical Parameters in Blister Packing

Forming Temperature:

The quality of the pockets that form is determined by the forming temperature. It depends on the type of packaging material and the unit’s dimensions.

Sealing Temperature:

It establishes the outcomes of the leak test. Pressure and plate knurling are both involved.

Speed of machine:

It varies from machine to machine and is determined by: 

i) Product Features: Size, Hardness, Shape, and Dispersible Tablets. b) According to the kind of packing materials that are utilized.

Pressure:

It influences product quality and can be used for cold forming and blister sealing.

Leak Test:

Leak test is performed to assess the possibilities of leaks in the blister and all blisters after checking should not contain water inside any pocket.

Common Issues in Blister packing:

  • Improper forming of blisters
  • Improper feeding in the formed cavities
  • Improper sealing of blisters
  • Improper knurling
  • Foil shrinkage
  • Blister curling
  • Improper embossing
  • Improper perforation
  • Improper cutting
  • Improper printing
