PVC Blister Film (Rigid PVC Packaging Film)

About PVC Blister Film (Rigid PVC Packaging Film)

PVC blister film is a rigid, transparent polyvinyl chloride sheet used to thermoform blister cavities, trays and clamshells for packaging. It is the standard material for pharmaceutical blister packs for tablets and capsules, and is widely used for consumer goods, electronics, hardware, cosmetics and confectionery packaging. The film thermoforms into precise cavities, heat-seals reliably to lidding foil or cards, and provides a barrier against moisture while keeping contents visible.

How to Choose

  • Thickness and width matched to your forming machine and pack design
  • Optical clarity and surface finish for product display
  • Formability and dimensional stability for deep-draw cavities
  • Heat-seal compatibility with your lidding foil or card
  • Certification for your industry: pharma, food contact or general use

FAQ

Q: What is PVC blister film used for?
A: It forms the clear thermoformed pocket in blister packs, holding tablets, capsules, batteries, hardware, cosmetics and small consumer goods while keeping the product visible and protected.

Q: What thickness is available?
A: Rigid PVC film is typically produced in thicknesses from around 0.15 mm up to 0.8 mm, in roll or sheet form. The right thickness depends on product weight and the protection required.

Q: Can it be sealed to aluminum foil?
A: Yes. Rigid PVC film heat-seals reliably to lidding foil such as aluminum or paper-backed foil, which is how standard push-through blister packs are made.

Q: Is PVC blister film food-contact safe?
A: PVC blister film can be manufactured to food-contact and pharmaceutical grades that meet relevant safety standards. Confirm the required certification for your product and destination market.
