Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in blister packaging?

Blister packs are typically formed from PVC, PVDC, or cold-form aluminum, with a foil or film lidding sealed over each cavity. Material choice depends on how sensitive your product is to moisture, light, and oxygen.

What's the difference between thermoform and cold-form blister packaging?

Thermoform blisters use heat to shape clear PVC or PVDC cavities and offer good visibility of the product inside. Cold-form aluminum blisters are formed without heat and provide a stronger barrier against moisture and light, making them well suited to highly sensitive formulations.

What types of products can be blister packed?

Our blister line is built for solid oral dosage forms, so we can accommodate tablets, capsules, and softgels within the same facility.

Do you offer unit-dose blister packaging?

Yes. Alongside standard PVC/PVDC thermoform blisters, we offer unit-dose strips for products that call for simple, single-dose packaging.

What is the minimum order quantity for a blister packaging run?

We offer low minimum order quantities, helping new brands get to market affordably while giving established labels a fast, flexible production option.

Can Summit Rx help design our blister card packaging?

We don't offer blister card design services, but once you provide us with print-ready artwork, we're happy to apply your design to the blister packaging.

How do you ensure quality and consistency across production runs?

Every run takes place in our FDA-inspected facility under strict cleaning, sanitation, and batch-record protocols. We maintain full batch documentation and in-process testing so quality stays consistent from batch to batch.

How fast is your turnaround time?

Because we pair low minimum order quantities with a tightly controlled production line, we are able to offer fast turnaround, helping both new and established brands get their product to market quickly.

Do you provide traceability documentation for regulatory or retail compliance?

Yes. Every batch is fully documented, including in-process testing records, so you have the traceability needed to support regulatory and retail requirements.
