Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Standard Blister PVC — specifications, usage, and compliance
Standard PVC sheets provide good clarity and formability for general pharmaceutical blister packaging. PVC/PVDC sheets add a polyvinylidene chloride coating that significantly improves moisture and oxygen barrier properties, making them suitable for moisture-sensitive formulations.
We offer PVC sheets from 200μm to 750μm in thickness. The most commonly requested thicknesses are 250μm, 300μm, and 500μm for oral solid dosage forms.
Yes. Our PVC sheets are engineered for consistent thermoforming performance on high-speed blister packaging lines operating at up to 500 cycles per minute, with uniform wall thickness distribution.
Our PVC sheets are compatible with standard aluminum foil lidding (20-45μm), push-through foil, child-resistant foil, and paper/aluminum laminate lidding materials.
Yes. We provide precision slitting to widths from 150mm to 800mm, with tight width tolerances of ±1mm to ensure smooth operation on your blister packaging equipment.
Our standard MOQ is 500 kg per specification. For custom formulations or specialized thicknesses, the MOQ may vary. Please contact our sales team for details.

A practical decision framework for selecting blister packaging materials — from standard PVC to high-barrier Aclar laminates — based on formulation sensitivity, target markets, and regulatory requirements.
Recyclable Blister Packaging Under the EU PPWR: What to Specify Now
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation pushes blister packs toward design-for-recycling, but recyclability depends on the material stream, the lidding and the collection scheme in each market. This note sets out how PVC, PVC/PVDC, PVC/APET laminates, APET and RPET sit against those requirements, and the specification points worth fixing before tooling and validation.
Medical Device Tray Materials: APET, RPET and PVC/APET Laminates Compared
Device trays are usually specified after the device and the sterile barrier are fixed, which makes the material choice a validation decision rather than a cost decision. This note compares APET, RPET and PVC/APET laminated sheet on clarity, stiffness, forming behaviour, sterilisation compatibility and recycled content, and lists the checks worth running before the tray is committed to tooling.
