Blister Packaging Made Sustainable
Our PaperBlister™ packaging is shaking up the industry, winning award after award for its innovative design.
Our PaperBlister packaging provides a fully recyclable, plastic-free alternative to traditional blister packaging that allows for:
Improved seal quality
Improved operational efficiency—less handling of materials and faster seal times
Reduced freight cost
Can run on existing ALLOYD® heat sealing equipment
PaperBlister packaging has been embraced by manufacturers not just for its sustainability, but also because it stands out on crowded store shelves. More printable space on the packaging means more space to get creative with branding and design!
It’s always an honor to be recognized for our commitment to designing for sustainability. Alloyd is helping customers and consumers alike meet their sustainability goals with our curbside-recyclable PaperBlister packages.
