Specification sheets for trapped blister carded packaging are full of abbreviations. This guide translates sheet gauge, cavity layout and trim tolerance into decisions you can make.
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 trapped blister carded 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 gauge 0.25 to 0.50 mm; anti-static grades for electronics; single or twin cavity. Materials most often specified are Polystyrene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polyvinyl Chloride, Recycled PET, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the hardware and tools sector the decision is usually driven by puncture resistance and hanging strength, with visibility as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include garden tool packs, hand tool clamshells, drill bit cards.
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 |
Recycled PET is frequently the default selection here: Food-grade rPET requires a recognised recycling process plus solid-state polycondensation.
The table below summarises the values that usually decide the material choice.
When you read a supplier quotation, check that the dimension, the resin grade, the colour reference and the tolerance class are all stated. A quotation that only gives a price per piece is not comparable between suppliers.
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.
The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.
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.
Use this checklist when comparing two or three supplier quotations.

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 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.
We can provide ISO 9001 quality system documentation, material certificates, RoHS and REACH statements, and where applicable food contact, flame retardancy or drinking water approvals. Tell us your target market and we will match the document set.
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.
Our team supplies trapped blister carded packaging to hardware and tools customers worldwide, with samples, material certificates and full inspection reports available before mass production.
