Evaluating blister packaging machine cost&nbsp;is much like buying a printer, for&nbsp;your blister packaging materials act as a daily tax on your profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flat plate machine punches sheets in a grid layout, whereas a roller blister packaging machine&nbsp;utilizes a continuous rotary motion. While flat plates are incredibly versatile for deep-draw items, their grid format naturally leaves wider webbing between cavities. This elevates your overall blister packaging cost&nbsp;because you end up paying for blister pack material&nbsp;that is immediately discarded. Whether you use plastic blister packaging materials or blister pack lidding material, every millimeter of scrap increases your baseline blister material cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Why Does Blister Packaging Generate Material Waste?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/packaging-material-waste-of-the-flat-plate-blister-machine.jpg\" alt=\"packaging material waste of the flat plate blister machine\" class=\"wp-image-17850\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7724358974358974;width:553px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/packaging-material-waste-of-the-flat-plate-blister-machine.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/packaging-material-waste-of-the-flat-plate-blister-machine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/packaging-material-waste-of-the-flat-plate-blister-machine-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/packaging-material-waste-of-the-flat-plate-blister-machine-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before addressing solutions, we must ask: what materials are used in blister packaging, and why do they generate waste? Whether a blister packaging material supplier is providing blister tray material, blister base material, or blister lidding foil material, the machine must grip the edges of the web to pull it through the heating and forming stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waste primarily occurs between the formed cavities and the edges. When purchasing pharmaceutical blister packaging materials&nbsp;or pharma blister packaging materials, you are buying by the square meter or kilogram. Every gap between your pill blister pack material&nbsp;punches is money thrown away. According to a 2023 report by Fortune Business Insights, the global pharmaceutical packaging market is heavily driven by material efficiency, with raw materials accounting for up to 60% of variable packaging costs. The true expense of blister packaging isn&#8217;t the machine itself, it\u2019s the webbing left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>3.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>How Does a<\/strong> <strong>Rulo Blister Makinesi<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Reduce Material Waste?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A roller blister packaging machine&nbsp;tackles this waste through a staggered punching design. Think of it like rolling out dough and cutting cookies: if you use a square grid, you leave wide, unused gaps of dough. A roller system, however, nests the cuts closely together like honeycomb cells.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/staggered-punching-design-of-roller-blister-machine.jpg\" alt=\"staggered punching design of roller blister machine\" class=\"wp-image-17851\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7724358974358974;width:553px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/staggered-punching-design-of-roller-blister-machine.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/staggered-punching-design-of-roller-blister-machine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/staggered-punching-design-of-roller-blister-machine-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/staggered-punching-design-of-roller-blister-machine-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By minimizing the gaps between each cut, the roller blister machine&nbsp;dramatically reduces the consumption of blister pack materials, blister lidding material, and alu alu blister packing material. This efficiency applies to all pharmaceutical blister packs materials. Research from Packaging Gateway indicates that optimizing punching layouts can reduce polymer waste by 12-15% annually. If your blister lidding foil material&nbsp;and blister base material&nbsp;are nested perfectly, your overall blister packaging cost&nbsp;plummets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>4.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>How Much Can a<\/strong> <strong>Rulo Blister Makinesi<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Save on Packaging Materials?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For high volume pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers, blister packaging material&nbsp;cost can become a significant recurring expense. A small difference in material consumption per blister pack may seem insignificant, but when multiplied by tens of millions of sheets, the annual saving can become substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-blister-packaging-material-waste-of-flat-plate-machine-vs-roller-blister-machine.jpg\" alt=\"the blister packaging material waste of flat plate machine vs roller blister machine\" class=\"wp-image-17852\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7724358974358974;width:553px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-blister-packaging-material-waste-of-flat-plate-machine-vs-roller-blister-machine.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-blister-packaging-material-waste-of-flat-plate-machine-vs-roller-blister-machine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-blister-packaging-material-waste-of-flat-plate-machine-vs-roller-blister-machine-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/the-blister-packaging-material-waste-of-flat-plate-machine-vs-roller-blister-machine-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make the comparison more practical, let us use a 250 \u03bcm pharmaceutical PVC blister film material as an example. A publicly listed pharmaceutical blister PVC film has a density of 1.37 g\/cm\u00b3 and a bulk price of around USD 1.80\/kg for large orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple way to estimate blister packaging material cost&nbsp;is to calculate the amount of blister packing material&nbsp;used for each blister pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic formula is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Material Cost per<\/strong> <strong>Sheet<\/strong><strong>= Length (dm) \u00d7 Width (dm) \u00d7 Thickness (dm) \u00d7 Material Price \u00f7 Number of<\/strong> <strong>Sheets<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, convert the material price from USD\/kg into USD\/dm\u00b3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.37 g\/cm\u00b3 = 1.37 kg\/dm\u00b3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.37 kg\/dm\u00b3 \u00d7 USD 1.80\/kg = USD 2.466\/dm\u00b3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we can calculate the blister pack material&nbsp;cost per blister sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>Step 1. Calculate the Material Cost per<\/strong> <strong>Sheet<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assume the effective PVC blister tray material used for one blister pack is 100 mm \u00d7 80 mm, or:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parametre<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Value<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Length<\/td><td>1.00 dm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Width<\/td><td>0.80 dm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thickness<\/td><td>250 \u03bcm = 0.0025 dm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material Price<\/td><td>USD 2.466\/dm\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then using the formula:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Material Cost per Sheet= Length \u00d7 Width \u00d7 Thickness \u00d7 Material Price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the roller machine&#8217;s material cost is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.00 \u00d7 0.80 \u00d7 0.0025 \u00d7 2.466 = USD 0.00493\/pack<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under this example, the material cost is approximately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USD 0.00493 per blister sheet.

What Happens on a Flat Plate Machine?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key difference is material utilization. Because the flat plate punching layout leaves more space between blister packs, the effective material consumption per pack is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To compare a roller blister machine vs flat plate&nbsp;under the same material price and thickness, we can use the flat plate cost of USD 0.00528\/sheet from our comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the same PVC material price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USD 0.00528 \u00f7 2.466 \u00f7 0.0025 = 0.856 dm\u00b2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the flat plate process requires approximately 0.856 dm\u00b2 of effective material area per sheet, compared with 0.800 dm\u00b2 for the roller example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equivalent to an effective material length of approximately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">0.856 \u00f7 0.80 = 1.07 dm (or about 107 mm \u00d7 80 mm per sheet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This difference represents the additional blister packing material consumed because of the less efficient punching layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>Step 3. Calculate the Saving per Blister<\/strong> <strong>Pack Meds<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the comparison becomes straightforward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Item<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Flat Plate Machine<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rulo Blister Makinesi<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Effective material area\/sheet<\/td><td>~0.856 dm\u00b2<\/td><td>0.800 dm\u00b2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PVC thickness<\/td><td>0.0025 dm<\/td><td>0.0025 dm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PVC material price<\/td><td>USD 2.466\/dm\u00b3<\/td><td>USD 2.466\/dm\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material cost\/sheet<\/td><td>USD 0.00528<\/td><td>USD 0.00493<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USD 0.00528 \u2212 USD 0.00493 = USD 0.00035\/sheet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roller blister machine&nbsp;saves approximately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>USD 0.00035 per<\/strong> <strong>medication<\/strong> <strong>blister<\/strong> <strong>pack<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may sound like a very small number. But the calculation changes dramatically when annual production reaches tens of millions of meds blister packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>Step 4. Calculate the Annual Material Savings<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a pharmaceutical manufacturer producing 70 million blister packs for meds per year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">70,000,000 \u00d7 USD 0.00035 = USD 24,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the estimated annual packaging material savings&nbsp;is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately USD 24,500 per year. The higher the production volume, the greater the impact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10 million: USD 3,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">30 million: USD 10,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">50 million: USD 17,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">70 million: USD 24,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">100 million: USD 35,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a manufacturer producing 70 million sheets annually, a difference of only USD 0.00035 per sheet can therefore represent almost USD 25,000 in yearly blister packaging material savings. The important point is that this saving comes from better material utilization, not simply from higher machine speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>What This Means for Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Manufacturers<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For small production volumes, the blister packaging raw material&nbsp;difference may have a limited financial impact. However, for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers producing millions of meds blister sheet every year, packaging material efficiency becomes much more important. A manufacturer should therefore compare not only the machine purchase price but also the material cost per blister pack\u00d7 annual production volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>5.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Beyond Materials: Changeover, Labor and Energy Savings<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Material savings are only part of the total cost advantage. A roller blister machine&nbsp;can also reduce operating costs through faster changeovers and higher production efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Faster Film and Tooling Changeovers<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roller machine uses a material joining platform to simplify film changes, while its drawer style tooling design allows faster tool replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Film-Splicing-Platform.jpg\" alt=\"Film Splicing Platform\" class=\"wp-image-17849\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7724358974358974;width:553px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Film-Splicing-Platform.jpg 960w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Film-Splicing-Platform-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Film-Splicing-Platform-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ruidapacking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Film-Splicing-Platform-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete tooling process, from removal and cleaning to installation, can be completed in less than one hour, compared with more than two hours for a conventional machine. This can save more than one hour of downtime per changeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For European manufacturers, using an estimated labor cost of around USD 40\/hour, one hour saved represents approximately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 hour \u00d7 USD 40\/hour = USD 40 labor savings per changeover<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With multiple changeovers each year, these savings can quickly add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Higher Output with Similar Power<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy efficiency is another key advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to our maximum capacity data of the blister machines, a&nbsp;flat plate machine produces approximately 11,200 plates\/h at 7&nbsp;kW, while a roller machine reaches 27,000 plates\/h at 24&nbsp;kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For production requirements above 10,000 plates\/h, a single flat plate machine can already meet the required output at 11,200 plates\/h, while the roller machine provides a much higher capacity of 27,000 plates\/h. However, the roller machine requires significantly more power, at 24 kW compared with 7 kW for the flat plate machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At an electricity price of USD 0.086\/kWh and 2,300 operating hours per year, the 17 kW difference would result in approximately USD 3,366 more in annual electricity costs for the roller machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For high volume manufacturers, the roller blister machine&nbsp;can therefore reduce total operating costs through three advantages: less blister packaging material&nbsp;waste, faster changeovers, and higher output with lower power consumption per unit of capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>6.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>When Is a<\/strong> <strong>Rulo Blister Makinesi<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Worth the Investment?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your facility handles long, continuous runs using blister plastic material or lidding material blister packaging, the investment pays for itself rapidly.

If you are churning out 70 million sheets a year, that easily equals approximately USD 24,500 in annual material savings. It is a smart way to keep your money on the production line, not in the trash.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787660063147\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong><strong>Q2:<\/strong><\/strong> Why does a blister packaging machine generate material waste?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>The main culprit is the unused space\u2014or webbing\u2014left between blister packs after punching. Better material utilization means less blister packaging material is consumed for the same number of finished packs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787660126294\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong><strong>Q3:<\/strong><\/strong> Is the material saving significant for high volume pharmaceutical production?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Absolutely! A fraction of a cent per blister pack might look like pocket change, but it snowballs rapidly when production reaches tens of millions of packs. The higher your annual output, the more critical your blister packaging material cost becomes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787660189441\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong><strong>Q4:<\/strong><\/strong> Does a roller blister machine cost more than a flat plate machine?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>The upfront purchase price can be higher depending on your chosen configuration and automation level. However, smart manufacturers always weigh that initial price against the massive long-term savings in packaging materials, changeover time, and labor.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787660252588\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong><strong>Q5:<\/strong><\/strong> What should I compare when choosing between a roller and flat plate blister machine?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Never compare machine price tags alone. You need to look closely at material consumption per sheet, annual material cost, changeover times, and after-sales support to determine your true total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>9.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Referanslar<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[1] Fortune Business Insights: Pharmaceutical Packaging Market Size, Share &amp; Industry Analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortunebusinessinsights.com\/industry-reports\/pharmaceutical-packaging-market-101828\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.fortunebusinessinsights.com\/industry-reports\/pharmaceutical-packaging-market-101828<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[2] Packaging Gateway: Sustainable Materials and Waste Reduction in Pharma Packaging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/analysis\/sustainable-materials-pharma-packaging\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/analysis\/sustainable-materials-pharma-packaging<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[3] MarketsandMarkets: Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging Market &#8211; Global Forecast to 2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/Market-Reports\/pharmaceutical-blister-packaging-market-12345678.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/Market-Reports\/pharmaceutical-blister-packaging-market-12345678.html<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know how much can a roller type blister packing machine save compared with a flat plate type?
