• Innovative patent-pending package for OTC medications.
• Reduces retail pilferage and stores medication safely.
• Blister card is securely sealed within the outer carton.
• Medication remains with drug facts, instructions and warnings.
• Ideal for tablets, capsules, vitamins and other pills.
• Fully customizable with branding and drug information.
• Accommodates a wide range of blister cavities.
SecureOTC for over-the-counter medications has the power to thwart pilferage and promote proper drug usage.
While the practice of using blister cards in OTC pharmaceutical packaging is common, the blister card is typically an independent, removable component. In the retail aisle, pilferers can open the outer carton, remove the blister card and leave the empty carton on the shelf. Furthermore, most blister cards do not contain drug facts, dosage instructions, warnings and expiration dates; these key details are commonly found on the outer carton. Since the premise of OTC medications is self-prescription and administration, the information printed on the carton is essential to proper treatment. When the medication is removed from the carton and the carton discarded, whether intentionally through pilferage or unintentionally at home, the medication becomes subject to misuse.
An all-in-one packaging solution for OTC medications, SecureOTC provides unparalleled protection for pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies and consumers. It consists of a brandable outer carton and blister card – configured together as one package. Unlike traditional OTC packages, where the blister card is easily removable, SecureOTC locks the blister card within the outer carton.
To open, the consumer lifts the back flap and pulls a zipper to access the blister card. This process allows the medication to be easily removed without damaging the outer carton. The carton remains intact and can be kept for consumer reference.
• Award-winning, patented, customizable package design.
• Complies with retailers’ sustainability requirements.
• Reduces petroleum-based plastic use by up to 70 percent.
• Deters in-store tampering and pilferage with built-in security.
• Lowers consumer injury rates with safer-to-open materials.

• Generally costs less than traditional plastic clamshells.
• Optional tear-resistant hanger hole for product displays.
BlisterGuard is a highly versatile, designer-friendly package that delivers sustainability – but without sacrificing strength, security, stackability, style or savings. It is manufactured using heat-sealable solid bleached sulfate paperboard laminated with a multilayer strength film, together with a thermoformed blister, a paperboard-based design that offers manufacturers many benefits.
The large printable area generates maximum brand impact and shelf presentation, giving commercial products high visibility in retail settings. BlisterGuard is also recyclable* and meets retailers’ demands for more sustainable packaging by reducing the use of petroleum-based plastics by up to 70 percent. And by design, the lack of sharp edges makes BlisterGuard safer to open than traditional RF-sealed plastic clamshells. (Tear-resistant at the store, BlisterGuard is easy to open at home with a pair of scissors.)
BlisterGuard is ideal for a variety of products, including:
• Commercial goods requiring display through transparent packaging.
• Heavy products that need to be housed in a strong and durable package.
• High-value items that must be safeguarded with a pilfer-resistant design.
• Products that hang in standalone displays and at point-of-purchase counters.
The Environmentally Friendly Choice
• BlisterGuard eliminates printed inserts commonly associated with plastic clamshells.
• BlisterGuard reduces energy consumption by using less plastic/polymer material.
• BlisterGuard uses paperboard, a renewable resource, as its primary raw material.
• BlisterGuard can be recycled and reused to manufacture other paper and paperboard.*
• BlisterGuard may reduce costs by up to 35 percent over plastic clamshells.
* BlisterGuard may be recycled in programs that accept mixed material packaging.
• Based on the award-winning, patented BlisterGuard® package.
• Provides enhanced security to patient compliance packages.
