At Summit Rx, blister packing is a core part of our contract packaging operations. Housed within our 47,000 sq. ft. facility, our blister line seals tablets, capsules, and softgels into individual cavities, giving your finished product a tamper-evident, moisture-resistant presentation that stands out on the shelf and reassures your customers at first glance.
Types of Blister Packaging We Offer
We produce both PVC/PVDC thermoform blisters and cold-form aluminum (alu-alu) blisters, giving you the right barrier protection whether your formulation is moisture-sensitive, light-sensitive, or shelf-stable. Our line supports unit-dose strips, calendarized blister cards for daily dosing regimens, and child-resistant configurations, so whether you're packaging a single softgel or a full 30-day supply, we can match the format to your product and your market.
Our Blister Packing Process
Our blister packing process begins with precision forming of PVC or aluminum cavities sized to match your product, followed by automated filling, sealing, and perforation into strips or cards. Every batch runs through in-line inspection to confirm fill accuracy, seal integrity, and print clarity before it moves on to cartoning and case-pack for shipment.
Quality Control & Compliance
Our quality team documents every production run for full traceability, operating within an FDA-inspected facility that follows strict cleaning, sanitation, and batch-record protocols. In-process checks on seal strength, cavity fill, and pack integrity mean every blister that leaves our line meets the same standard, batch after batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in blister packing?
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.
Can blister packs be made child-resistant?
Yes. We can produce child-resistant blister configurations that meet applicable packaging standards while remaining easy for adults to open.
What is the minimum order quantity for blister packing?
Summit Rx offers flexible, low minimum order quantities for blister packing, making it accessible whether you're launching a new SKU or scaling an existing product line.
Do you provide custom artwork for blister cards?
Yes. Our team can help design blister card artwork, including branding, dosage instructions, and calendar-day labeling.
