Blister packs are often used as unit-dose packaging for pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, and other similar products. A cavity or pocket made of a formable film, commonly a cold-formed aluminum film, is the primary component of a blister pack. The use of aluminum provides a perfect barrier against moisture, light, and oxygen. Blister packing has the following major advantages:   The medicine can be stored in a stable and reliable condition.   A small amount and serial packing can be easily realized.   The packaging is secure, hygienic, portable, and convenient.   It has a high degree of flexibility and long shelf life.   Blister packaging uses a variety of plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and aluminum sheets or foils. Blister packaging can provide barrier protection as well as some tamper resistance to meet shelf-life requirements....

For decades, Tyvek® has been a reliable choice for medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as specialized sterile packaging providers across the world. Since Tyvek® is comprised of HDPE, it can be recycled in accordance with local regulations. Tyvek ® is widely used in laboratory and medical device packaging applications both sterile and non-sterile as it can withstand conditions such as gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide gas, which are used to disinfect equipment and surgical instruments. Tyvek is a common material for pouches, lid stock, breather patches, and bag headers. Under the most severe, highly polluted environments, Tyvek® has been found to provide an excellent microbiological barrier.    Traditional methods like water bath, bubble leak testing methods, and blue dye leak test methods were traditionally used for testing Tyvek ® packages. Since these methods offer some limitations, manufacturers rely on non-destructive, deterministic package testin...
