Blister packaging is one of the most effective ways to showcase and protect your products. You’ve seen it everywhere; a clear, durable plastic cover holding items like tools, batteries, or cosmetics against a bold printed card. It’s clean, professional, and instantly recognizable.
This type of packaging doesn’t just protect your product, it sells it. The crystal-clear display lets customers see exactly what they’re getting, while the custom backing card gives you the perfect space to tell your brand’s story, highlight features, and make a lasting impression.
When presentation matters, blister packaging makes your product stand out on the shelf and in the customer’s hands.

Whether you’re looking for blisters, cards, or clamshells, POWERPAK has got you covered!
- Clear visibility for product display
- Tamper-proof seals for added security
- Customizable shapes and sizes
- High-quality, durable materials
POWERPAK’s Blister packs and Blister Cards are made with only the highest quality materials. All cards and blisters are 100% consumer recyclable.
Blister packs use a clear plastic cavity sealed to a paperboard or aluminum backing to securely hold products. They offer excellent visibility, tamper resistance, and protection from dust and moisture, making them ideal for pharmaceuticals and retail goods.
Foldover packs feature a plastic blister folded over itself and sealed on all sides. This creates a strong, fully enclosed package that provides higher security and is commonly used for tools, electronics, and hardware products.
Clamshell packs consist of two hinged plastic halves that snap or heat-seal together. They are durable, theft-resistant, and widely used in retail for electronics, accessories, and consumer products.
Fold-seal packs are made by folding a plastic sheet around the product and heat-sealing the edges. They are cost-effective, lightweight, and ideal for small, lightweight retail items.
Blister-carded packaging is popular across many markets and product categories, such as:
Club stores and major retail chains
Home improvement, hardware, and tools
Hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear
Sports and recreation items
Health, beauty, and cosmetics
Household products
Electronics and gadgets
Office and craft supplies
Toys and games
Automotive parts and accessories

I have been working with Powerpak for ~5 years for our blister machine packaging needs. They have been very helpful selecting the right blister pack machine products for our business needs and have always been available if we had questions or needed help with our blister machine equipment. During a recent move from CA to NV, they also recalibrated our equipment and crated it for safe transport. Most recently we started a conversion from blister to enviro-friendly plastic free blister packaging which required several design iterations to capture the essence of a secure product in enviro-friendly packaging, but Powerpak was patient with our changes and went full throttle when it was time to print. As a small business, we love supporting other small businesses and are grateful to have Powerpak as our packaging partner.

Finding the Powerpak Blister Machine for our small business was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to our brand. We were able to accept an order for over 100,000 units and save over $20,000 by not having to pay a contract manufacturer to manage the job for us. This machine alone has significantly improved our blister packing machine capabilities and allows us to continue to grow our business due to the speed in which it completes our blister packaging machine. Not to mention, the customer service that Bob and Melody provide is unmatched. We are grateful for our relationship with Powerpak.

Our Story
When it comes to blister packaging, we may know a thing or two.
Thanks to the late Peter Green. Proud dad of now CEO, Bob Green.
He not only left behind a charming smile, a witty sense of humor, and a loving family… but something important Powerpak incorporates into our business practices today: INTEGRITY.
It all started when Peter Green owned a company “Century Printing LTD.” He was approached by Aaron Fish, CEO of “ILCO UNICAN” who had a hardware line. He complained that their products were being stolen out of bins. Peter took some samples and saw his good friend and thermoforner, John Fisher. John mostly formed chocolate trays, but Peter asked him to try to form clear plastic over ILCO Unican’s products.
After successfully doing so, he printed the cards, created the machine, sealed the packs and the rest remains history!

Why put my trust in Powerpak?
Blister packaging, is a durable and customizable solution featuring a clear plastic cavity sealed to a backing, ideal for protecting and displaying products like retail goods, electronics, and cosmetics.
Blister packaging comes in several forms, including:
- Front face Seal Blisters: Clear plastic sealed to a flat backing.
- Full Blister Cards: Fully encloses the product with a durable seal.
- Clamshells: Hinged designs that open and close.
- Pharmaceutical Blisters: Individual compartments for pills or tablets.
These forms can be customized to fit specific product needs.
If you have a new product you believe is ideal for retail, we are here to assist you. Contact our team, and one of our experts will provide dedicated guidance and resources to help you take the next steps. We may request product samples to be sent to our main location, enabling us to create a mockup design to ensure we’re aligned with your vision. Additionally, we’ll collaborate with you to determine the most suitable packaging options, tailored to your product, budget, and volume requirements.
We work in CMYK format and our preferred format for artwork is Adobe Illustrator (Ai). Within the art files, all fonts should be converted to outlines and any linked images should be imbedded. Text and graphics should be at least .125″ away from any cut and or trim areas, to allow for cut tolerance. The file should have a .125″ bleed beyond the die line. Corners of the card should have a radius (recommended .25″) because square corners tend to dog ear. The hang hole should be placed at balance point. You will always receive a hard copy proof via mail to review and approve before production.
The Headquarters for Powerpak Industries LLC. is located in San Diego, California. They are a proud USA based company who serves companies all over the world.
Why do you offer a lifetime warranty on your equipment?
We offer a lifetime warranty on our equipment because we are confident in the quality, durability, and craftsmanship of our products. Our goal is to provide our customers with reliable solutions they can trust for years to come. This warranty is a testament to our commitment to customer satisfaction and our belief in the long-term value of our equipment.
We are family owned and operated and the originators of retail blister packaging since 1949. There are other options out there, but when it comes to knowledge, personalized experiences, and trust…we have your back. We believe customer service is key to success in any business and we value long lasting relationships with our customers
and their products.
