What is Skin Board Packaging?
Skin board packaging, or skin board printing, is utilized to create a wide range of packaging products such as boxes, cartons, and trays.
This style of packaging uses a clear polyethylene plastic film to keep the product sealed tight against a paper card.
Benefits to Skin Board Packaging
There are many benefits to skin board packaging! These include it being lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective, among others.
Skin board packaging contours around your product – providing both protection and ultimate visibility. Andex Skin-Pac board is ideal for contoured, loose, irregular, and large parts. While skin board packaging might be considered old school, it is nevertheless highly effective!
Our Skin Board Printing Process
Below is our detailed skin board printing process:
- The skin packaging process requires specialized paperboard, inks and coating, skin film, and equipment to seal and die-cut the master sheet.
- Andex skin board provides high strength, low curl, and excellent film adhesion. The special paperboard has a porous (non-clay coated) surface. The printed graphics are attractive but not as vivid as blister cards (clay coated surface). The skin film enhances the graphic appearance with a slight gloss.
- The heated film drapes over the master sheet, capturing and contouring around the product. It’s like the stretch wrap used in the kitchen.
- The master sheet is then cut to individual cards containing your product. Keyslots, round corners, and internal die cuts may be added during the cutting process.

Skin Board Packaging FAQs
Skinboard is specifically a specialty paperboard, designed with tiny pores that allow air to pass through the board during the packaging phase. Following the printing process, the surface of one side of the paperboard is covered with an adhesive that works by bonding the plastic to the skinboard. Skin packaging is a carded packaging that looks similar to blister packaging; however it is different in one major way – the sealing process occurs via a vacuum-sealing machine.
The skin of skinboard packaging is a vacuum packaging film. This film acts like a protective skin. Vacuum packaging film is highly flexible, which helps to lessen protrusion items to be securely packaged.
Skin packaging/vacuum forming machines are one of the most effective methods of packaging products in the industry today. Skin packaging machines are effective for packing spare parts, tools, cosmetic and health care products, or small parts for toys. Automatic shrink-packaging machines make skin packaging an exceptionally efficient process.
Skin packaging is commonly used for car parts, hardware, or small consumer goods. It is a good choice for either small or large products, loose parts, rigid products, and industrial or retail items.
Skin packaging materials include the plastic, vacuum-sealed film, a heat activated coating, printing ink, and a paperboard. At Andex, we utilize high quality inks, and paperboard products to ensure your packaging effectively protects and make your product stand out.
