BLISTER PACKAGING MACHINE — QUOTATION & TRIAL BRIEF
Updated November 5, 2026

Complete the known requirements and leave others open for review.
This document does not submit an inquiry or book a trial.

1. PRODUCT AND PACKAGE OBJECTIVE
Project / contact / installation location:
Product / sample identity and representative quantity:
Tablet, capsule or other product dimensions and tolerances:
Coating, fragility, dust, sticking, static or handling concerns:
Required pocket orientation and feeding requirements:
Protection requirements (moisture / oxygen / light):
Package-performance and product-stability evidence required:

2. FORMING AND LIDDING MATERIALS
Proposed thermoforming / cold-form construction:
Forming web supplier, grade, structure and thicknesses:
Lidding supplier, foil structure, thickness and seal coating:
Compatible seal surfaces and supplier processing information:
Material barrier data, test method and test conditions:
Forming-web and lidding widths / reel diameters / core sizes:
Winding direction, reel weight and material identity:
Printed artwork, repeat, registration marks and coding areas:

3. CARD AND TOOLING DRAWING
Finished card dimensions and tolerances:
Product pockets per card:
Cavity profile, depth, product clearance, spacing and radii:
Seal lands, edge margins, perforations and cutting arrangement:
Forming-web travel direction and index/pitch information:
Complete cards released per cutting cycle:
Tooling sets, product feeders, guides and change parts required:
Requirements for conversion between ALU/PVC and ALU/ALU:
Included versus separately quoted format parts:

4. OUTPUT BASIS
Accepted complete cards required per shift:
Scheduled shift hours:
Setup / cleaning / non-running hours:
Accepted-card fraction at the agreed inspection point:
Product mix, batch sizes and changeover frequency:
Required gross cards/hour:
Required cutting cycles/minute:
Required accepted tablets or capsules/shift:

Planning formulas:
Running hours = shift hours - non-running hours.
Gross cards/hour = accepted cards/shift / running hours / accepted fraction.
Round gross cards/hour up to a whole card.
Cutting cycles/minute = gross cards/hour / complete cards per cycle / 60.
The planner rounds this rate up to 0.1 cutting cycle/minute.
Accepted products/shift = accepted cards x filled pockets per card.
This assumes one product in each filled pocket of an accepted card.
Confirm cards per cutting cycle from the actual format drawing.
Non-running time and rejected cards are separate planning allowances.

5. MACHINE AND CONNECTED LINE SCOPE
Proposed DPP or other model and exact supplied configuration:
Forming method and required equipment for each material:
Product feeder and product-contact change parts:
Sealing, coding, print-registration and cutting scope:
Inspection functions and agreed challenge samples:
Reject tracking, reject collection and count reconciliation:
Web handling, scrap collection and accepted-card discharge:
Card counting, stacking, buffer and transfer:
Cartoner / leaflet / cards per carton / closure specification:
Separate deblistering or product-recovery requirement:
Spare tooling, wear parts and included consumables:

6. FACILITY AND UTILITIES
Available voltage / phase / frequency, by circuit:
U.S. main-machine quotation reference: 220 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz.
Confirm the actual supplied configuration and each auxiliary load.
Compressed-air pressure, flow and supply requirements:
Cooling / water / ventilation needs where applicable:
Room conditions and material-handling requirements:
Complete layout, service clearances and reel-loading access:
Installation route, shipping dimensions and floor loads:
Unloading, positioning and connection responsibilities:

7. TRIAL, FAT AND SITE ACCEPTANCE
Trial machine, forming method, format and location:
Exact product, forming-web and lidding identities and quantities:
Settings, speed, run duration and sampling intervals:
Gross cards, rejects, accepted cards and interruptions:
Startup scrap and material changes:
Agreed checks for cavities, product condition and filling:
Seal-integrity method, sample locations and acceptance criteria:
Code readability, print position and card dimensions:
Inspection/rejection challenge and downstream-transfer checks:
Cleaning, changeover and first accepted cards after restart:
Written results, unresolved items and responsibilities:
FAT / site acceptance / training / qualification-document scope:
Further package barrier, stability and release work:

8. COMMERCIAL AND SUPPORT SCOPE
Itemized inclusions, options, quantities and exclusions:
Drawings, manuals, contact-material records and parts lists:
Currency, price validity, payment and delivery terms:
Freight, import responsibilities, trucking and unloading:
Site connections, installation, commissioning and training:
Warranty scope, service arrangements and parts supply:
Total installed-cost items and target startup date:

CURRENT CATALOGUE REFERENCE
DPP-140: ALU/PVC 10-50; ALU/ALU 10-25 cutting cycles/minute.
DPP-250: ALU/PVC 6-50; ALU/ALU 6-25 cutting cycles/minute.
