blister (вздутие на облучённом материале); blister pearl; blister pack (Blister pack is a term for several types of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods, foods, and for pharmaceuticals. The primary component of a blister pack is a cavity or pocket made from a formable web, usually a thermoformed plastic. This usually has a backing of paperboard or a lidding seal of aluminum foil or plastic. A blister that folds onto itself is often called a clamshell. WK Alexander Demidov); push-through pack (Medical blister trays differ from Pharmaceutical blister packs in that these are not push-through packs. The thermoformed base web is made of a thicker plastic sheet, generally between 500µ to 1000µ and can not be collapsed, thus forming a solid tray. The lidding film provides a peel-open feature and is generally porous to allow sterilization (such as the Dupont medical Tyvek material). Such medical blister packs are used for medical devices, used in hospitals. WK Alexander Demidov); push-through-pack (In some parts of the world the pharmaceutical blister pack is known as a Push-Through-Pack (PTP), an accurate description of two key properties (i) the lidding foil is brittle allowing to press the product out while breaking the lidding foil and (ii) a semi-rigid formed cavity being sufficiently collapsable to be able to dispense the tablet or capsule by means of pressing it out with the thumb. The main advantages of unit-dose blister packs over other methods of packing pharmaceutical products are the assurance of product/packaging integrity (including shelflife) of each individual dose and the possibility to create a compliance pack or calendar pack by printing the days of the week above each dose.
