Switching to Paper or Recycled Blister Packaging Without New Machines

Two companies have debuted packaging systems with sustainability features that don’t require the investment in new machinery.

Paper Blister Pack

While many companies are striving to meet packaging sustainability goals, the prospect of purchasing new machinery can be a deterrent for some.

Two companies recently debuted recyclable packaging that doesn’t require an investment in new machinery to implement at WestPack in Anaheim.

 Paper blister

Paper blisters have existed for some time, but the Alloyd Division of Sonoco launched its EnviroSense™ PaperBlister™, an all-paper retail blister package designed as an alternative to traditional thermoformed plastic blister packages.

 With advanced new tooling, manufacturers can run the blister package on existing Alloyd equipment—including the Aergo 8 blister machine—without sacrificing speed. Changeover can be completed by one person in under 20 minutes.

“Many companies are moving from PVC to RPET—this is a leap forward to a recyclable monomaterial ready for the paper stream,” says Kim Sanderson, Marketing Specialist at Sonoco Alloyd. This offers a blister alternative for brands seeking to reduce plastic by 2025.
