Get an itemized quote for your cold-form pack: machine, tooling, feeding and selected options. HIJ Machinery builds the quotation around your product, pack layout and agreed supply scope.
Request a quotationQuoted to configuration. Tooling, options and delivery scope are confirmed in the written offer.
The machine and the selected options belong in the same quotation.
Alu-Alu blister packing machine price is configuration-specific. The forming and sealing tooling, product feeder, control options, inspection scope and delivery requirements all affect the quotation. A machine-only offer and an installed packaging project are different budgets; compare them against the same pack drawing and acceptance requirements.
Choose the buying situation closest to yours. These are quotation review routes, not fixed models, price bands or promises that every option is included.
Focus the offer on one agreed cold-form blister layout, the matching feeder and tooling, and a product trial. Keep additional formats and downstream equipment separate so the base scope is clear.
Ask for a machine-and-format quotation with the trial and acceptance scope identified.
Compare a defined format list rather than an open-ended changeover claim. Identify what each format needs: forming and sealing tooling, punching tools, guides, feeder change parts and stored settings where applicable.
Ask for the base machine plus an itemized format schedule, including what can be shared.
Define the handover from the blister machine to the next process. Review pack orientation, transfer method, buffering, line signals and responsibility for integration alongside the blister-machine scope.
Ask for separate machine, interface and downstream-equipment scope; agree who tests the complete line.
The useful comparison is not simply automatic versus high-speed. It is what the proposed configuration must do with your product and packaging material.
Pack dimensions, pocket geometry, forming depth and web layout determine the tooling review. Include the finished pack drawing and the proposed forming and lidding materials; a tablet count alone does not define a format.
Tablet or capsule shape, dimensions and flow behaviour influence the feeder selection. Review the proposed feeding arrangement with real samples, including how it is accessed and cleaned. Do not price every dosage form as the same feeding task.
Compare accepted blister packs per minute for the agreed layout—not a cycle-rate headline from another material route. Your batch pattern and format changes also affect the useful configuration. Identify the operating conditions to be demonstrated during the trial.
The DPP-260/360K technical reference distinguishes mechanical web traction from optional servo web feed. The selected drive, inspection checks, reject handling and any data functions should be named individually in the offer, not inferred from a PLC or servo label.
Review the Alu-Alu machine configuration before finalizing the pricing scope.
The equipment reference documents replaceable tooling and selectable feeding arrangements. That makes the configuration schedule more useful than a generic premium tier: it tells you what is fitted, what is optional and which pack the offer covers.
The photographs show HIJ equipment and component references. They do not establish a cold-form output rating or make a pictured option standard supply.
Use this schedule to compare supplier quotations line by line. Each item needs a stated scope, quantity or responsibility; this is a review checklist, not a claim that every item is supplied as standard.
| Offer item | Scope to identify | Commercial check |
|---|---|---|
| Machine and materials | Named configuration, product application, forming and lidding materials, and the pack layout used for selection. | Record the proposed configuration and any material or application limits. |
| Tooling and formats | List the included format sets and their drawing references. Identify forming, sealing, punching and feeder change parts as applicable. | Price additional formats separately; identify shared and format-specific parts. |
| Feeding and controls | Name the feeder, feed-drive arrangement, controls and selected options. Describe any inspection and reject functions. | Separate required functions from optional upgrades and define how each is tested. |
| Acceptance and documents | Identify the factory trial, samples and materials required, agreed acceptance criteria, manuals, drawings and any qualification support. | Distinguish supplying documents from reviewing, executing and approving site qualification. |
| Installation and utilities | Define equipment positioning, connections, site work, training and any support attendance. Obtain the selected configuration's utility schedule. | Name the responsible party and whether travel, site services or auxiliary equipment are included. |
| Spares and service | List supplied spares, recommended wear parts, support channels and the written service and warranty scope. | Identify optional stock, replacement-part ordering references and service exclusions. |
| Delivery and commercial terms | State the quotation currency, delivery basis and named location, packing scope, payment milestones, validity and proposed delivery schedule. | Distinguish supplier charges from freight, local clearance, taxes and plant delivery costs. |
For document responsibilities and approval boundaries, see Alu-Alu qualification and validation scope.
Build the budget in layers. Keep one-time purchase and start-up costs separate from recurring production costs, and count an item only once if it is already included in the supplier's offer.
Start with the agreed machine scope. Add only the tooling, feeder options, inspection, accessories and interfaces that are separately priced. A lower headline number is not a saving if it excludes parts the production format requires.
Add the logistics and site costs allocated to your project: freight and insurance where applicable, local clearance and charges, inland transport, utilities work, installation, training and qualification activities. Obtain destination-specific charges from your logistics and local advisers rather than using one universal landed-cost percentage.
Evaluate packaging materials, product losses during setup, labour, utilities, wear parts, maintenance and changeover time. Use your own shift pattern, material cost and accepted-pack output. This is the basis for a cost-per-pack comparison, not a promised payback period.
For investment review, divide the relevant operating cost by accepted saleable packs over the same period. Model more than one utilization level. A machine's maximum cycling rate alone is not a reliable return-on-investment forecast.
Send competing suppliers the same pack drawing, materials and product brief. Compare the proposed technical solution and acceptance scope before the final price—not manufacturer nationality or a list of component brands.
A component brand does not, by itself, prove that two machines have equivalent capability. Likewise, a higher automation label does not establish whether the selected system fits your batch size, operators or changeover pattern.
If the packaging route is still undecided, review cold forming versus thermoforming before requesting equivalent offers.
Already shared a URS, drawing or material specification with HIJ? Reference that file and revision. Add only missing details or changes; there is no need to fill out the same equipment questionnaire again.
Discuss the unresolved feeder, format, inspection or line-interface decisions. If only an early pack concept is available, identify the assumptions first and separate a budgetary discussion from a final configuration offer.
Check the itemized configuration, commercial terms, testing responsibilities and exclusions together. Where a trial is required, agree the product, materials and acceptance criteria before treating the proposed performance as confirmed.
Not automatically. Products may share a blister layout only if the pocket geometry, pack dimensions and feeding arrangement are suitable. A change in shape, size, count or web layout can require different tooling or feeder parts. Have each proposed format reviewed rather than treating one set as universal.
Do not assume it is a simple upgrade. Cold forming and thermoforming use different forming processes, and compatibility depends on the actual machine, stations, tooling and controls. For an existing machine, provide its model, serial number and installed configuration for a feasibility review before budgeting a conversion.
Identify the revised drawing and ask for the affected scope to be reviewed before ordering. Changes can affect tooling, feeding, material use, the proposed operating rate and the delivery schedule. Keep the accepted drawing revision linked to the final quotation and acceptance plan.
Use the currency, validity period and delivery basis stated in the written quotation. A different currency, named delivery location or allocation of freight and local charges may require an updated offer. Confirm those changes before comparing the revised total with the original.
Discuss your Alu-Alu blister pack with HIJ Machinery. Reference the brief you already have and tell us what has changed or remains undecided. The next step is a configuration and supply-scope review—not another copy of the same RFQ checklist.
