Role of Packaging in Stability Studies
• Blister Packing Technology - R . Khimsaria
• Blister Packing Materials - H . Mhatre
• Selection Criteria - J . Bhat
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Derive suitable packaging on dosage form • Protection from Moisture, Gas, Light & Temperature• Microbiological Integrity • pH Stability• Anti – Counterfeit Capability• Compliance – Regulatory & Patient
Importance of Pharma Packaging
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Blister packs• Strip Packs• Bottles for bulk packs• Sachets or Pouches• Tubes for oral dosage • Injectables• Suppositories
Packaging formats in Pharma Industry
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Single source for all your blister needs
• Solutions for both Blister machines and foils
• Closely associated with ALCAN Packaging & HONEYWELL for Barrier foils
• Application development at R&D and Clinical stage
Our Competence – BLISTER TECHNOLOGY
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
Types of Blister Packing process
- Forming principle is either Vacuum or Compressed Air Thermoforming & Plug assist for Cold forming

2. Compressed air & Plug assist Platen forming:
Types of Blister Packing process
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Low barrier film – PVC
• Medium barrier film – PVdC
• High barrier film – ACLAR & ALU/ALU
Barrier Packaging foils
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Push through blisters with ALU lid stock – Most common
Types of Blisters: Push Through Blister
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• Peelable paper with Paper+ALU Lid stock – Child resistant blister
Types of Blisters: Peel Push Blister

Temperature Parameters (In °C):
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
Optimizing Material Heating:
• Contact Heating is recommended
• Platen surface: Minimize friction
• Sealing temperature & pressure
• Cool as well as possible
Your global partners in solid dosage systems
• IN COLD FORMING:- Mechanical forming by PLUGS- Plug material – TEFLON
• Can cause formation of Pin-Holes or Material Tear
• Installing PIN HOLE DETECTORS for forming and lidding foils
