What is Slide Blister packaging?
Slide blister packaging is an efficient and visually appealing packaging solution, especially for displaying and protecting small products. This packaging format combines a thermoformed blister tray with a paper card, providing a convenient way to protect products while showcasing product information. The sliding design allows consumers to easily access the product while ensuring its safety during transport and storage.
The sliding blister packaging consists of two parts, a plastic blister + paper card. The blister needs to fold the three sides of the blister to the back with a folding machine so that in the next packaging process, the paper card can be inserted into the folding to form the sliding blister packaging.

Requirements for suppliers of high-quality sliding blister packaging
Good packaging can enhance a product and it can help build a brand.
As buyers, we certainly want to buy good quality packaging. But how do you judge the quality of a plastic slipcover? There are 2 things to look out for.
The first is whether the paper card and the sliding blister match.
You can see that usually the paper card and blister have a hanging hole. A supplier with good quality control will pay attention to this and will adjust the position of the blister card printing and the blister hanging hole to ensure that the sliding blister package looks good.
The second is the smoothness of the sliding blister track.
Typically sliding blister packs have three flaps to the back edge to hold the blister card in place and form the sliding track. The size and smoothness of the sliding track that holds the blister card is a test of the supplier’s production experience.
We are a specialist manufacturer of sliding blister packs and if you would like to try this type of sliding blister pack, please contact us for some advice.

Working principle of sliding blister packaging thermoforming machine
It is a kind of thermal processing method, the thermoplastic sheet is cut into a certain size, after heating and softening the plastic sheet, with the help of the two sides of the sheet atmospheric air pressure difference and mechanical pressure to make the sheet deformation, and then cover on the surface of the specific mold. After cooling deformation, and trimming to complete the process of plastic blister tray.
Sliding blister packaging mold selection
To produce high quality sliding blister packaging, high quality thermoforming molds are the foundation
1.Customers who cannot provide 3D drawings usually have the base model made by hand.
2.Electroplating copper mold under the premise of confirming the structure and size of manual mold
The mold plays a very important role in the quality of the custom blister packaging. Usually, there have plaster molds, cooper molds,s and hardware molds for blister-forming molds.
The plaster mold is easy to make, and making time is also short ( about 2-4 days). It is conducive to the modification of product packaging. Compared with other molds, its cost is the lowest. Due to the original color of the plaster mold, the transparency of the blister made by the plaster mold is less than the blister transparency made by another mold. So it is mainly applicable to the sample confirmation and low requirements of product packaging transparency.
Cooper mold is metal molds made on the basis of plaster molds, which are relatively durable. The thickness of blister copper mold is about 0.5-0.8mm, and the making time is about 5 days ( including the plaster mold making time). The surface of the copper mold is smooth, so the appearance and transparency of the blister produced are good. Also, its mold cost is relatively low, so it is the most commonly used Sliding blister packaging insert forming mold.
Aluminum mould needs to be based on 3D design or product sample, through CAM and another programming software programs, completed by CNC machine tool processing The precision of aluminum mold is very high, and the contour and Angle of the blister packagings produced are relatively beautiful. Relative to the other two molds, its price is the highest, but its durability and production efficiency are higher, time-saving and electricity saving and the rejection rate is very low. This mold is suitable for packaging with high appearance and size requirements. It is the first choice for mass production and high requirements of blister production.
blister card manufacturer
A Paper card is a part of the thermoform blister packaging to protect the product from falling. Product instructions and pictures/company information can be printed on the paper card, you can print anything you want.
Gray board paper, single-side coated paper, and white cardboard are used for sliding blister packaging.
It can be printed on one or both sides to enrich your product information and usage instructions. The surface of the card can be matte or glossy.
If the quality of your product is heavy, we can also glue two pieces of paper card together to increase the hardness and three-dimensionality.
CMYK printing or single color on one side or on both sides for the paper cards.
Product pictures, Product Instructions, company information… can be printed on the paper card.
Embossing can emphasize and highlight the important parts of printing design like logos and slogans. When you touch the embossing part, it is outstanding obviously.
Hot stamping/silver hot stamping is the process that shows a sense of metal and a stronger sense of three-dimensionality through the change of the hot stamping plate. The color is brighter, but the price for this craft is expensive. So we suggest that you can apply some words that you want to emphasize.
Spot UV means this UV Coating to a specific area (or areas) of a printed piece rather than coating the entire surface. Spot UV is a creative way to add depth and contrast through varying levels of sheen and texture.
Glossy lamination produces a shiny, glass-like appearance that enhances the color and vibrancy of the ink on a page.
Matt lamination: A matte film is adhered to regular paper or film with an adhesive, often by heat activation.
Glossy Vanishing: a layer of glossy oil cover the paper. It can prevent dust pollution and moisture erosion, it also protects the colored layer.
Matt Vanishing: a layer of Matt oil covers the paper after printing.
Normally we will suggest choosing lamination since varnishing needs more time to get it dry. The defective rate and price of varnishing are higher than lamination.

One of the main differences between slide blister and heat seal clamshell blister packaging is the level of visibility. Slide blister packaging offers a clear view of the product inside, which can help to increase sales by allowing consumers to see the product before they buy it.
Another difference is the level of protection provided. Slide blister packaging offers a layer of protection for the product inside, but it may not be as secure as heat seal clamshell blister packaging, which is designed to completely enclose the product and provide a higher level of protection.
In terms of customization, both types of packaging can be customized with branding and product information. However, slide blister packaging may offer more flexibility in terms of design, as it allows for full-color graphics and other customizations on the cardboard backing.
Overall, the choice between slide blister and heat seal clamshell blister packaging will depend on the specific needs of the product being packaged, as well as the preferences of the manufacturer and the target consumer.
The cardboard backing of sliding blister packs can be recycled and the plastic part can also be sorted and recycled. It is recommended that the highest percentage of recycled PET is used for thermoforming blisters. Alternatively, we can offer the option of using materials that are already recycled or biodegradable plastics.
The production time for slide blister packaging can vary depending on the quantity ordered and the complexity of the design. Generally, it can take several weeks to produce slide blister packaging, including design, production, and shipping.
