blister packaging

Sealed plastic bubbles

Blister packaging is a type of product packaging where an item is sealed between a pre-formed plastic cavity and a backing card, typically cardboard or foil.

The transparent plastic bubble allows customers to see the product while keeping it secure and tamper-evident.

Common for pharmaceuticals, small electronics, and hardware, blister packs are notoriously difficult to open, sometimes requiring scissors or a knife.

I cut my finger trying to get the batteries out of that blister packaging.
