Skin packaging is an inexpensive, effective way to display your product.

Why skin packaging rather than blister?
When your product hangs on a rack in the store, the first thing the consumer notices is your product when it’s skin packed.
If it’s in a blister, the first thing the consumer sees is the blister. Either way, if you don’t have to destroy the package

when removing the product, then it’s not an acceptable package. This is what carded packaging is all about!
Skin packaging provides product protection, product visibility and tamper evidence.

Skin packaging is extremely versatile because one piece of plastic can be drawn down around almost any shape, size or weight product. The plastic protects the product and the card backing from wear and tear. And since the product is immobilized, it cannot shift and multi-component products will not lose any of its pieces.

Skin packaging can be used to replace blisters, poly bags and folding cartons. In the industrial products protection segment, skin packaging can replace peanuts, cellulose wadding, bubble wrap, foam-in place, shredded paper and die cut corrugated. Low density polyethylene is the primary film used in the industrial protective packaging market.
