Key Features
Custom Face Seal Blister Packs | Clear Retail Blister Packaging
Face seal blister packs are the dominant retail blister packaging format worldwide — a thermoformed PVC or PET plastic cavity heat-sealed around its perimeter to the front face of a printed SBS chipboard backing card. The consumer sees the actual product through crystal-clear plastic while the large backing card delivers full brand communication, retail compliance information, and peg-hook display capability.
Construction
The thermoformed blister cavity is shaped from PVC or PET film over a custom aluminum mold matching exact product dimensions. The blister flange is then heat-sealed to the printed card using controlled heat and pressure, forming a tamper-evident bond that must be visibly broken to access the product.
Applications
- Consumer electronics accessories — cables, adapters, earbuds
- Hardware and tool accessories
- Health and beauty products
- Toy and hobby accessories
- Pharmaceutical OTC retail products
Why Face Seal is the Standard Retail Blister Format
Face seal blister packs dominate retail because they solve four challenges simultaneously: product visibility through clear plastic, tamper evidence through a heat-sealed bond that must be visibly broken, theft deterrence through a large card difficult to conceal, and retail compliance with full barcode and specification communication. For mass retail, this combination is unmatched by any other packaging format.
PVC vs. PET Blister Film
PVC film is the traditional face seal standard — excellent thermoforming, low cost, and crystal clarity. PET provides comparable performance with better environmental credentials — recyclable in PET streams and produced without chlorine compounds. rPET blister film provides the same performance with recycled content and recyclability certification for sustainability-committed brands.
Backing Card Printing and Finishing
The backing card is the face seal blister's primary brand surface — printed on 18pt or 24pt SBS chipboard with full CMYK offset lithography. Finishing options include gloss lamination, matte lamination, and spot UV. Euro hang holes are die-cut to standard 6mm diameter for compatibility with all retail peg hook systems.

Face Seal Blister Packs in Maine — FAQs
What is a face seal blister pack?
A face seal blister pack consists of a thermoformed clear plastic cavity heat-sealed around its perimeter to the front face of a printed paperboard backing card. The seal forms only on the card front face — the full back panel remains an unattached additional print surface.
What is the minimum order for custom face seal blister packs?
Our minimum order is 100 units. Custom thermoforming tooling is required for each unique blister cavity — tooling is produced in 10–14 business days and retained for repeat orders at no additional charge.
What blister film material do you recommend?
PVC is the cost-effective standard for most retail applications. PET is recommended for brands with sustainability commitments or retailers with PVC-free packaging policies. Both provide equivalent crystal clarity and thermoforming performance.
How is tamper evidence achieved?
The heat-sealed bond between the blister flange and the backing card must be physically broken to access the product, and the broken seal is visibly detectable — a key purchasing requirement for retail buyers in pharmacy, hardware, and electronics categories.
Can custom face seal blisters include a peg hang hole?
Yes. Euro hang holes (6mm diameter standard) are die-cut into the backing card's top panel for peg hook retail display. Hole position is calculated based on the packed weight's center of gravity to ensure straight hanging on the peg.
