Blister Packaging: Introduction
·
Blister packaging is a kind of pre-formed plastic packaging,
which is used for producing transparent and highly durable packs. It is
commonly used in foods & beverages, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, among
others. Cavity or pocket is the primary component in blister packaging. The
pocket is made of a thermoformed plastic and has the backing of paperboard or a
lidding seal of aluminum foil or polymer. The polymeric material is mainly used
in forming web of the blister packaging. Low cost is the major advantage of PVC
in blister packaging. Additionally, PVC can be easily thermoformed. Hence, it
is highly used in pharmaceutical applications.
·
Based on application, the global
PVC blister packaging market can be segmented into consumer goods,
pharmaceutical, industrial goods, food & beverages, and others. The
pharmaceutical segment held major share of the global PVC blister packaging
market in 2019. Consumer goods and food & beverages segments are expected
to offer lucrative opportunities by the end of the forecast period.
Rise in Demand for PVC Blister Packaging in Pharmaceutical
Application to Drive Market
·
PVC blister packaging is extensively used in packaging of
products such as tablets, pills, capsules, granules, or lozenges. PVC blister
packaging provides excellent barrier protection by enhancing shelf life of
medicine and offering high degree of tamper resistance. It also offers
excellent thermo-formability, high flexural strength, and good resistance
against chemical attack. PVC blister packaging also offers low permeability to
oils, fats, and flavoring ingredients. Furthermore, PVC blister packaging lower
in cost than other substitutes. These characteristics of PVC blister packaging
make it an ideal choice for pharmaceutical applications.
·
Rise in geriatric population and increase in number of diseases
have boosted the consumption of medicines. Additionally, rise in covid-19 cases
across the globe has resulted in an increase in usage of drugs. PVC blister
packaging is mainly used as a protection material to avoid exposure of the
pharmaceutical dose to climatic conditions. The shelf life of drugs increases
due to the usage of PVC blister packaging. This is likely to drive production
and consumption of PVC blister packaging in the near future.
