The method of heating a plastic sheet and moulding it using vacuum or air pressure on a mould is known as thermoforming. The sheet is cooled to get its final shape once it has been created. In vacuum forming, the moulding process uses a negative pressure.
Blister packing machines are specialised equipment used to package tablets, capsules, and other unit-dose medications. A bubble pack component, which could be a cavity or pocket made of a formable film—typically thermoformed plastic or cold-formed aluminium film—is a part of the device.
For prolonged periods of time, blister packs are helpful for shielding products from environmental elements including humidity and contamination. Additionally shielding light-sensitive products from UV rays, opaque blisters.
The Global Blister pack thermoforming machine market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Launch of a New Rigid Blister Machine by Shawpak Shawpak, a manufacturer of medical packaging equipment based in the UK, has introduced its new Shawpak Rigid Blister Machine. This makes it possible for businesses to produce custom trays as needed.
We are now able to provide our customers in the medical and pharmaceutical industries with a full range of packaging solutions thanks to the arrival of the Shawpak Rigid Blister Machine.One of the newest additions to the Shawpak portfolio is this packaging machine, which the company developed, designed, and produced.
Die Cut rigid blister packs up to a maximum size of 600 x 280mm can be produced with the Shawpak Rigid Blister Machine, delivering a web width of 620mm and an index length of 300mm.
To fill the 600mm width, one blister at the maximum size or any combination of blisters may be formed. Materials with a minimum width of 250mm can be loaded onto the machine.
In addition to forming the blister and die-cutting the exterior profile, it also incorporates a separate waste disposal and automatically stacks the blisters so they are ready for use in production.
One of the machine’s key advantages is that medical device clients may make packaging on demand from roll stock without relying on supply chains, giving them complete flexibility.
Customers can produce trays ahead of time and alter the tooling fast for complete control, avoiding the need to hold excess stock for months and sapping space and funds.
By controlling serialisation and inspection as packs are created and integrating a company’s supply chain, this equipment helps improve quality control.The creation of Shawpak’s Rigid Blister machine relied heavily on an understanding of client challenges with supply chains and constraints in the current conventional market solutions.
