RPET Face Seal Blister Packaging for cosmetics and personal care: Key Properties to Check

2026-10-02 Plastic News 0 views

If you specify Recycled PET (rPET) for face seal blister packaging, a handful of properties decide whether the part survives forming and service. These are the values worth checking on every data sheet.

Everything here can be checked on a real sample before you commit to a production order.

Product Overview

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 cavity depth up to 60 mm; single and multi cavity layouts; flange width 6 to 12 mm. Materials most often specified are Recycled PET, Polystyrene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyethylene Terephthalate, 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 gift set inserts, travel size packs, sample cards.

Key Material Properties

These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.

MaterialDensityTensile strengthService temperature
Polyethylene Terephthalate1.35-1.40 g/cm³50-70 MPa-40°C to 70°C
Polypropylene0.90-0.91 g/cm³25-40 MPa-10°C to 100°C
Polystyrene1.04-1.06 g/cm³30-50 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.

Properties That Decide the Outcome

Typical values for a general purpose grade are listed below; filled, stabilised and speciality compounds will differ.

  • may contain gel particles
  • lower carbon footprint than virgin resin
  • food contact grades available after SSP
  • needs rigorous incoming inspection
  • variable colour and IV between lots

Density 1.35-1.40 g/cm³, tensile strength 45-65 MPa, continuous service temperature -40°C to 70°C and melt range 245-265°C are the four values to circle on the data sheet. Everything else is secondary for most cosmetics and personal care projects.

Common Grades and Variants

  • Polyethylene Terephthalate based: excellent barrier to CO2 and moisture
  • Polystyrene based: rigid and glossy
  • Polyvinyl Chloride based: inherently flame retardant
  • Recycled PET based: lower carbon footprint than virgin resin

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 and Finishing Options

The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.

  • Heat sealing
  • Vacuum forming
  • Pressure forming
  • Sheet extrusion

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.

How to Specify Face seal blister packaging Correctly

These are the criteria that actually predict whether the part will perform in service.

  1. verify recycled content documentation if rPET is used
  2. ask for a drop test on the finished pack
  3. confirm the sealing coating matches the card
  4. check the corner radius against the sheet gauge
  5. leave a flat flange for heat sealing

Send this list to your supplier with the drawing and you will receive comparable quotations from every factory you contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does tooling and sampling take?

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.

How do you control colour consistency?

Colour is controlled with a masterbatch reference approved by the customer, and every production lot is checked against the approved sample under standard lighting before shipment.

Can you produce face seal blister packaging in Recycled PET?

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.

What tolerance can be achieved?

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.

Which certifications can you provide?

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.
