What is Heat Sealing?
A blister package consists of a formed piece of PVC plastic attached to an adhesive coated paperboard. The paperboard is manufactured specifically for blister packaging, and printed with special wax-free inks. Both ingredients are essential to blister packaging, and without both, the blister will not adhere to the paper.
The paper and plastic are bonded together in a blister sealer, which happens when a hot plate presses down on to a custom made tool for the blister and card combo. The tooling is made with a cavity to fit the outline of the blister piece, and a raised cork gasket is on the face of the tool, shaped to match the outline of the cavity. The blister flange (the part that seals to the card) sits on the gasket when inserted into the tray cavity. After the product is inserted, the card is put on top face down. Spring loaded pins outline the card area, to locate the card properly.
Other Related Activities
Quality Manufacturing also offers many other production related activities:
After the blister, product and card are loaded, the tray is indexed into the heating station, where the hot plate is pressed down upon the custom made tool. The combination of heat and pressure is enough to activate the adhesive on the face of the card and create a bond between plastic and paper, and a finished product.
What is Radio Frequency Sealing?
Also known as high frequency, radio frequency welding or sealing uses electromagnetic energy to generate heat and under pressure bond two PVC films or blisters together. Whereas with heat seal a single backer card is placed in that equipment, with RF a sheet of either clear or printed PVC is inserted. Depending on the size of the product, this sheet can be for several individual packages. If clear PVC is used for both the back and front blisters, then a printed card or paper can be inserted into the pack before sealing. This type of sealing is very common when customers require a tamper proof package. As with heat seal custom made tools are produced to match the details of the blister and backer. The RF equipment indexes through several stations on a turntable to provide a finished product in the last station.
