Importing face seal blister packaging from China can cut unit cost substantially, but only if sheet grade, tooling and inspection are agreed before the first shipment.
Use it as a working checklist when you write your next enquiry.
This category covers a family of products rather than a single item. In practice a buyer defines face seal blister packaging by three things: the base resin, the format or dimension, and the performance or certification level it has to meet. Typical options in this category include transparent, frosted and coloured; sheet gauge 0.20 to 0.60 mm; flange width 6 to 12 mm. Materials most often specified are Polypropylene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polystyrene, Recycled PET, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the cosmetics and personal care sector the decision is usually driven by product compatibility and optical clarity, with print quality as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include travel size packs, gift set inserts, mascara blisters.
These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recycled PET | 1.35-1.40 g/cm³ | 45-65 MPa | -40°C to 70°C |
| Polyvinyl Chloride | 1.38-1.45 g/cm³ | 40-55 MPa | -10°C to 60°C |
| Polystyrene | 1.04-1.06 g/cm³ | 30-50 MPa | -20°C to 70°C |
Polyethylene Terephthalate is frequently the default selection here: High IV PET resin is the reason a 1.5 L bottle can be light yet hold carbonation pressure.
The landed cost of face seal blister packaging is built from several layers:
Before placing an order, work through this checklist:
Beyond the base resin, most suppliers offer UV stabilised, food contact, flame retardant, anti-static and recycled content versions of the same product. Ask which additive package is included, because it is often the difference between a part that lasts three years and one that lasts ten.
Processing method drives both cost and performance, so it should be fixed early in the design.
Secondary operations such as printing, welding, machining and assembly are often cheaper to do in the same factory, and they reduce the risk of mismatch between components.
Work through these points in order and most specification mistakes disappear.
Send this list to your supplier with the drawing and you will receive comparable quotations from every factory you contact.
Standard packing is export cartons on fumigation-free pallets, with custom labelling, barcode and retail packing available. We also handle consolidated containers and door to door delivery.
A new tool typically takes 25 to 45 days depending on cavity count and complexity, followed by T1 samples within one week. Existing tools can usually start production within 10 to 15 days of order confirmation.
Yes. Standard samples are normally free of charge and shipped within three working days; custom samples are charged at cost and credited against the first production order.
Yes. {mat1} is one of our regular materials for this item, and we can supply virgin, modified and certified grades with full traceability. Material certificates and test reports are issued per batch.
Standard production tolerance follows the relevant ISO or DIN tolerance class for the process; tighter tolerances are possible after machining or grinding, but they add cost. Define the tolerance only on the functional dimensions.
Share your specification and quantity with us and we will recommend the most cost effective material, tooling route and packing method for your market.
