In plain words

Connect capsule filling and blister packaging

TS LAB operates two blister packaging lines alongside capsule filling at its production site in Komenda. Your format needs an agreed material, cavity layout, capsule count and finished-pack specification.

Choose between individually sealed cavities and a multi-capsule container. Compare PET, HDPE and glass jars for the same product brief.

Ask for this

Build the blister specification around your capsule

The capsule, material and tooling determine what can run. Include these requirements in the first enquiry so the proposed format covers the complete retail pack.

From capsule cavity to retail carton Separated forming and lidding layers surround the capsules. The strip connects to a carton and leaflet, with a separate location for agreed lot and date coding. 01 02 03 LOT DATE 04

Four connected decisions

Select a part to explore the pack.

Blister material

Specify the barrier and handling requirements, then confirm the available forming and lidding materials. PVC, coated films and aluminium constructions have different properties; availability is project-specific.

Cavity format and capsules per strip

Capsule dimensions and count determine the cavity layout and tooling. Send the target count per strip and retail pack. Your offer sets the minimum run for the selected tooling, materials and retail-pack configuration.

Leaflet and carton

Define the number of strips per carton, any leaflet and who supplies the printed components. Confirm which packing steps are included.

Batch number and expiry printing

Specify where the lot identification and date information need to appear, and confirm the available coding method.

Product protection and shelf life

An intact blister keeps each capsule enclosed until use. The actual moisture, oxygen and light protection depends on the materials and seal; shelf life needs evidence for the finished product and pack.

Documents that travel with the pack

Include the product and batch records your receiving retailer requires. Plan the regulatory and document scope.

The complete retail pack

Compare the cost per carton, with the packing work included.

If you sell the product in a carton, a price per strip only tells part of the story. Define the retail unit, then ask which setup, materials and finishing work the quotation covers.

Setup & tooling

What affects itExisting compatible tooling versus a new cavity layout or format.

What to confirmAny initial charge, tooling ownership and whether a repeat run has a separate setup cost.

Materials & packing

What affects itForming and lidding materials, strip count, carton, leaflet and lot or date coding.

What to confirmThe supported finishing steps, who supplies each component and what the finished-unit price includes.

Order quantity

What affects itProduction scope and the minimum purchase quantities for the chosen components.

What to confirmThe minimum in strips and finished cartons, total cost, and how unused printed components are handled.

Price and protection are separate decisions. Agree the material construction and evidence needed for the product, alongside its cost. Published line capacity does not confirm an available production slot or delivery date.

Still comparing formats? Explore jar packaging, or send your capsule and retail-pack requirements. If the material or strip layout is undecided, say so in the brief.

Regulation

Include material evidence in the packaging decision

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation generally applies from 12 August 2026, with recycling and other measures phased in later. Assess the obligations and dates for the exact blister construction. Read the Commission overview.

Confirm the forming and lidding materials

Record the material construction, protective requirements and available compliance evidence before committing to tooling. A generic material description does not establish the finished pack’s suitability.

Certificates

Review the production evidence

Use the certificate pages to check the relevant manufacturing scope. Product protection, shelf life and packaging compliance need evidence for the specific capsule and blister combination.

FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.

Questions

Capsule blister packaging questions

Do you blister in house?

Yes. TS LAB operates two blister packaging lines at the Komenda production site, alongside capsule filling. The production slot and format are confirmed for your order.

Which blister material do you use?

Confirm the forming and lidding materials in your format proposal. Suitability depends on product protection, tooling, cost and applicable packaging requirements; a standard material list is not published.

How many capsules per strip, and do you pack into a carton?

Send the capsule dimensions and desired counts per strip and retail pack. Cavity layout, carton packing and leaflet requirements are assessed and scoped for that format.

Do you print the batch number and the expiry date on the blister?

Include the required coding, position and legibility in your enquiry. Confirm the available method for the strip and any carton before approving the format.

Is blister the right format for pharmacy distribution?

Blister packs can be suitable for pharmacy distribution, depending on the product and retailer requirements. Agree the capsule count, protection, remaining shelf life, coding and documents with the intended channel in mind.

Why does the pack format matter for the paperwork?

The specification and supporting evidence must identify the finished product in its selected pack. Confirm the packaging description, shelf-life basis and documents required by your retailer.
