What Is Blister Card Packaging? A Short Answer
Blister card packaging pairs a clear plastic blister, molded to your product's shape, with a full-color printed paperboard card that seals it shut. Teal Packaging produces custom blister cards from 50 units with free dieline design, a digital proof before printing, and free US shipping, from $0.44 per unit at volume.
Why Choose Blister Card Packaging for Retail Products?
Blister cards remain a retail staple because they combine product visibility, security, and print space in a single low-cost pack. The card does the selling while the blister does the protecting.
The transparent plastic bubble allows customers to see your actual product, building purchase confidence through visual confirmation of quality. The printed card backing provides substantial space for branding, product information, and marketing messages that influence purchasing decisions.
Blister cards also hang cleanly on pegboard displays, resist casual tampering, and make small items harder to pocket. They suit electronics accessories, hardware, batteries, cosmetics, toys, office supplies, and general consumer goods. Teal produces blister cards for general retail products, not regulated pharmaceutical blister packs.
Which Blister Card Style Fits Your Product?
Face seal blisters are a common choice for retail hang goods: the plastic cavity is heat sealed to the front of a printed card, which keeps cost low at volume. Trapped and full face seal designs trade a little cost for durability or easier recycling.
| Style | How it works | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Face seal blister | Plastic cavity heat sealed to the front of a printed card | High-volume pegboard retail, small hardware, accessories |
| Full face seal blister | Plastic film covers the entire card face and seals at the edges | Heavier items that need added durability and theft resistance |
| Trapped blister | Blister held between two die-cut cards, no heat seal coating | Brands that want easier plastic separation for recycling |
| Clamshell with insert card | Hinged plastic shell with a printed card inside | Bulky or higher-value products, resealable display |
| Slide blister | Pre-formed blister slides onto a folded card with flanges | Small runs, no sealing equipment needed on your side |
Hang tab configurations include standard euro slots, retail hook slots, and punched holes, and custom die cuts in the card create distinctive shapes that stand out on retail displays.
What Materials Are Blister Cards Made From?
The card is printed paperboard and the blister is clear plastic film. Teal prints blister cards on 14-18pt white SBS for bright, accurate color, or 300-400gsm kraft paperboard for a natural look, with FSC-certified and recyclable options by specification and soy and water-based inks.
For the blister itself, clear vinyl (PVC) film is the common choice, with mylar (PET) options by specification. Film gauge is matched to product weight during quoting: lightweight items use thinner film, while heavier tools and multi-piece sets call for a heavier gauge.
Card thickness matters for hang strength, since a heavier card resists tearing at the hang hole as products get handled in store. If you are comparing point and gsm measurements, our paper weight chart translates between the two.
How Do You Print and Customize a Blister Card?
Every blister card prints in full color, and dieline design is free: you send product dimensions and artwork, and our design team builds the card and cavity layout around them. A digital proof with two revision rounds comes before anything prints.
Finishing options include foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, soft-touch coating, die-cut shapes, and windows. The front of the card typically carries the brand story and product name, while the back carries usage instructions, specifications, and barcodes.
What Sizes Do Blister Cards Come In?
Every card and blister cavity is cut to your dieline, so sizing is made to your product rather than picked from a fixed range. Send your product dimensions with your quote request and the free dieline design service will build the card and the cavity around them.
That holds across a whole SKU range: each product gets its own dieline at no extra cost, and the digital proof, with two revision rounds included, is where you confirm layout and fit before anything prints. Hang tab placement, card shape, and die-cut details are all settled at that same stage.

Pair Your Blister Cards With Kitting and Fulfillment

Our kitting services assemble blister-carded SKUs into sets and displays, pick, pack, and ship covers ongoing order fulfillment, and storage runs out of our West Chicago, Illinois fulfillment center.
Blister Card Packaging FAQ
Is blister card packaging the same as blister packaging?
Mostly, yes. Blister packaging describes the whole format, while blister card emphasizes the printed paperboard backing that the plastic blister seals to. In retail, the terms are used interchangeably, and the card is the graphic and structural backbone of the pack.
What is the minimum order for custom blister card packaging?
Minimum orders start at 50 units. That covers custom card printing and a blister cavity shaped to your product, with volume pricing from $0.44 per unit at higher quantities. Every order ships free within the US.
How long does blister card production take?
Production runs from about 7 business days after you approve the digital proof, and complex or high-volume orders take longer. US delivery adds 2 to 5 business days, with express and economy options available.
What is the difference between face seal and full face seal blisters?
Face seal blisters have plastic sealed only to the front of the card around the cavity, with the rest of the card exposed. Full face seal blisters cover the entire card face and seal at the edges, which adds containment and theft resistance. Full seal designs are a common pick for higher-value items and products that need extra protection on the shelf.
What size are blister cards, and can you match my product?
There is no fixed size range. Every card and blister cavity is cut to your dieline, so sizing is made to your product. Send your product dimensions with your quote request and the free dieline design service will build to them, then you confirm the fit on the digital proof.
Can blister card packaging be recycled?
The paperboard card is recyclable in many curbside programs once separated from the plastic blister, and FSC-certified and recyclable material options are available by specification. A trapped blister design, which holds the blister between two cards without heat sealing, makes separation easier. Check local guidelines for the plastic component.
