What is blister packaging?

Blister packaging is clear packaging used to transport goods, according to National Plastics, Inc. The packaging is tamper proof and durable.

Blister packaging is often made from pre-formed plastic. The packaging contains a web, or space designed to specifically fit the product inside, as stated by Vel Pack Industries. The plastic is heated and shaped before being sealed to the backing or hard package. Blister packaging is most commonly used to hold small household items and medications. Blister packs come in a wide array of sizes and shapes depending on the item they are intended to hold inside. Many companies make the product.
