Summer allergies are blossoming, so it’s time to hit the drugstore. Did you know the plastic packaging that holds each of your allergy pills is called blister packaging? Believe it or not, the name results from the look of the rounded plastic-it looks like a blister! In today’s blog, experts from Complete Packaging Solutions, will explain blister packaging, and where in everyday life consumers experience it.
What Is Blister Packaging?
Blister packaging is a thermoformed plastic packaging that consists of a cavity to hold the product and a pliable lid that adheres to the surface surrounding the cavity.
