What are the trends regarding this packaging?

The demand for blister packs has increased. This is due to the attractivity of the single-dose package, the excellent resistance of this packaging against moisture, its longer shelf life, and the controlled dosages. There are also new trends in the materials used to manufacture these blisters. The blister packs have long been made of PVC due to their low cost and ease of production. Today, an increasing number of retailers are seeking alternatives to PVC. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) are good alternatives.
