TF/F/S for Tablet/Capsule Blister Packs

Machines that heat and apply vacuum or pressure to continuous rolls of nonrigid thermoformable film prior to filling and hermetically sealing small blister packs, such as in pharmaceutical or nutraceutical capsule applications.

Category Explained

TF/F/S for Tablet/Capsule Blister Packs machinery utilizes heat and either vacuum or pressure techniques to mold continuous rolls of flexible, thermoformable film into precise shapes before the process of filling them with products like tablets or capsules. Following the filling process, the equipment ensures the blister packs are hermetically sealed, maintaining the integrity and safety of the contents. This machinery is essential in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for packaging small items efficiently, providing a secure and protective environment for each product until it reaches the consumer.

Typical products and applications include:

  • Pharmaceutical tablets or gel capsules: Packaged in blister packs for dose control and tamper resistance
  • Vitamins and dietary supplements: Sealed into single-use blister cavities for retail or sample distribution
  • Cold or allergy medications: Individually portioned to support accurate consumer dosage
  • Oral dissolvable films or lozenges: Protected in custom-formed blister wells for hygiene and convenience
  • Travel-size or promotional packs: Multi-cavity blister formats for sample or trial packaging

Additional Considerations:

  • Ensures unit-dose protection and product stability: Reduces contamination risk and improves shelf life
  • Supports regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical packaging: Critical for labeling, traceability, and tamper evidence
  • Compatible with aluminum, PVC, PVDC, and other barrier films: Suitable for moisture- and light-sensitive products
  • Allows for child-resistant or senior-friendly designs: Enhances safety and accessibility
  • Integrates printing, coding, and inspection systems: Ensures quality control and traceability throughout production
