How to Secure Blister Packaging Flanges with Tape

Securing blister packaging is a critical step to ensure the safety and integrity of the products inside. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use tape effectively based on the specific lengths of the flanges.

Materials Needed

• Standard tape (minimum length: 40 mm)
• Measuring tool (e.g., ruler or measuring tape)
• Scissors (optional, if cutting tape required)

Steps to Follow

1. Measure the Flange Length

Begin by measuring the length of the flange on the blister packaging. You will use this measurement to determine how much tape to use for securing it.

2. For Flanges Longer Than 60 mm

If the flange measures longer than 60 mm:

• Use standard tape: Cut a piece of tape to be at least 40 mm long.
• Apply the tape: Securely apply the tape along the flange, ensuring it adheres well to prevent any peeling.

3. For Flanges Shorter Than 60 mm But Longer Than 20 mm

If the flange measures shorter than 60 mm (but longer than 20 mm):

• Measure Half the Length: Cut the tape to half the length of the flange.
• Apply the Tape: Place the tape evenly along the flange.

4. For Flanges Shorter Than 20 mm

For flanges that are less than 20 mm:

• Full-Length Tape: Use tape that extends the entire length of the flange.
• Secure the Tape: Ensure the tape is firmly attached along the full length to prevent any compromise in packaging security.

Final Checks

After applying the tape, conduct a visual inspection to ensure all flanges are securely taped and there are no gaps or loose edges. This will help maintain the integrity of the blister packaging and protect the product inside.

Conclusion

Following these clear steps ensures that blister packaging is secured appropriately, preventing any potential damage or contamination. Properly applying tape to each flange depending on its length contributes significantly to the product's safety and quality.
