What is a skin board package?
Skin packaging is an alternative to blister packaging. Skin packaging vacuum seals a film over your product on a master sheet, which is then cut to individual cards. Keyslots, round corners and internal die cuts may be added during the cutting process. This type of packaging seals around the product and multi-component products may be segregated and contained.
Andex skin packaging board provides high strength, low curl and excellent film adhesion. Due to its non-clay coated surface, artwork that is printed on skin packaging board will not be as vivid as the same artwork printed on a blister card. The film that is applied to the skin packaging board will give the graphics a slight glossy appearance.
What types of products can be packaged in blisters?
Skin packaging is great for:
- Small or large items
- Lightweight or heavy products
- Products without holes or voids
- Rigid products
- Various quantities of items
- Industrial and some retail products
- Higher profile items
How do the plastic and the board stick together?
Andex is a convenient source for both stock and custom plastic sheets and printed skinboard, but does not seal products within the finished package. Ask your Andex account rep about the options available for sealing skinboard packages.
