An Inexhaustible Smart Source For Blister Packaging – Ecobliss

nb

Complete Blister Packaging displays products in all its visual appeal and features, and at the same time, protects it in transit and on the shelf. Ecobliss, the Smart Source for complete Blister Packaging needs, integrates blisters and cards to deliver the packaging product needed in almost any style, size or shape, with a wide array of functional attributes and finishing.

Unlimited functional possibilities
In terms of functions, Ecobliss’ complete blister packaging can be made easy to open, with or without recluse ability, for in-store inspection or demonstration, or for home storage. The packaging concept can be designed to facilitate dispensing of the product, and then protecting what remains. An integrated perforation strip to allow easy access, but clearly show tampering evidence (or lack thereof) to assure customers. Alternately, Ecobliss complete blister packaging can be made hard to open, for theft or tamper-resistance. Ecobliss tear-resistant technology looks ordinary, but is virtually impossible to open without a knife or scissors.

Depending on the customer’ requirements, Ecobliss’ complete blister packaging solutions can make use of other features, such as employing thicker, tougher plastic for greater protection in transit. Complete blister packaging can be designed in a way to freely stand or hang straight on a shelf. And holographic labelling can be employed for anti-counterfeiting. Within the Smart Source concept packaging needs are analysed and a complete blister packaging product is than designed to suit the requirements.

Special packaging for various industries
Ecobliss has developed a distinct line of complete blister packaging for the pharmaceutical industry for secondary packaging of drugs, tablets and pills. For the food industry and electronics, transport trays can be created where components for assembly or transport can be sorted and protected. These trays can even be part of the manufacturing infrastructure, for example, holding different components in colour-coded trays to support error-free assembly in the production plant.

Transparency in packaging
Why hide products in a cardboard box when they can be displayed in attractive, free-standing, transparent boxes? Indeed, for some products – like cosmetics - an attractive display presentation is expected. A product, presented in an attractive transparent box, already looks like a gift! 

Virtually unlimited options
Ecobliss complete transparent boxes can incorporate many other features such as internal blisters shaped to hold the product for display and protection in transit, or insert cards to provide product information for sales promotion or for product use. The actual box material can be chosen from various thick-nesses – to provide adequate breakage protection if needed. This fully integrated packaging option can be designed to stand on its own or to hang straight in a shelf.  It can be recloseable, so that the packaging actually becomes part of the functionality of the sold product. Again, the options are virtually unlimited.

At Ecobliss, complete transparent box packaging can have a highly attractive finishing such as holographic printing – which can be used for anti-counterfeiting purposes and provides a unique branding feature. Special colour printed artwork, possibly with a metallic-look in gold or silver, and in varying opacities, can appear on the box. Unique 3D thermoformed boxes can take on shapes to match a product – like square, oval or pyramid shape.

Special techniques offering interesting advantages
Ecobliss’ complete blister packaging can be produced using both cold seal or heat seal technology, each with their own unique features and advantages. The heat seal technology offers high reliability and durability of the bond between blister and card, or card-to-card, in the case where front and back blister cards are used. Ecobliss’ cold sealing however offers the simplest packing process – reliable, quick, environmentally friendly and cost-effective while offering numerous possibilities for special features to the pack-aging. 

Packaging machines for small and large series
Ecobliss provides the exact packaging equipment to serve your requirements. From simple machines manually operated by a single individual, through to high-capacity fully automated packaging line, Eco-bliss offers again a Smart Source concept for packaging solutions where it makes sense to own a production facility.  

From industrial design to actual products and packaging machines. Whatever is needed, the Ecobliss Smart Source provides complete blister packaging solutions to suit product and branding.

Participation Interpack
Ecobliss will participate at this year’s Interpack exhibition which will take place in Düsseldorf, May 8-14th 2014. At the Ecobliss stand many of the blister packaging and transparent boxes will be shown and there will be ongoing demonstrations of packaging machines for both heat and cold sealing.
