Blister cards are a reliable and cost-effective packaging solution widely used in the retail industry. Known for their visibility strength and convenience these cards combine a printed backing with a clear plastic blister that holds the product securely in place. At Prime Box Printing we provide custom blister card solutions designed to enhance product presentation maximize shelf impact and protect items during transit and display.
What Are Blister Cards
Blister cards are made from sturdy printed cardboard backing with a molded plastic bubble or cavity that seals the product. The transparent blister allows the customer to view the product while keeping it protected from damage and tampering. This type of packaging is popular for lightweight and small items such as electronics tools hardware toys batteries and cosmetics.
Blister packaging also supports hang tabs making it ideal for point-of-sale (POS) racks and hooks in retail environments.

The printed card behind the blister is the main branding space and plays a crucial role in grabbing customer attention. At Prime Box Printing we use high-resolution printing technology to produce vibrant blister card designs that align with your brand. Our printing options include:
