What is the difference between Skin and Blister Packaging?

Skin packaging and blister packaging are two different types of packaging commonly used in the retail industry to showcase and protect products. The main differences between these two packaging methods are:

1. Process: Skin packaging involves placing a product on a cardboard backing and covering it with a clear plastic film that is heated until it conforms to the shape of the product, creating a vacuum seal around it. Blister packaging, on the other hand, involves placing a product in a pre-formed plastic blister or cavity and then sealing it with a cardboard backing.

2. Appearance: Skin packaging typically offers a clearer view of the product, as the plastic film is tightly wrapped around it, while blister packaging offers a more three-dimensional view of the product, as it is contained within a raised plastic cavity.

3. Protection: Skin packaging provides better protection against dust, dirt, and other contaminants, as the plastic film is vacuum-sealed around the product. Blister packaging, on the other hand, offers better protection against moisture and tampering, as the product is completely enclosed within a sealed plastic cavity.

4. Cost: Skin packaging is generally less expensive than blister packaging, as it requires less plastic and cardboard material.

Overall, both skin packaging and blister packaging have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the two depends on the specific product being packaged and the desired outcome.
