End the Bottleneck Between
Blistering and Cartoning
We've spent 20 years listening to pharmaceutical manufacturers. These are the three biggest challenges we solve every day.
Manual Handling Errors
Tired of manual product transfers causing blister damage, cross-contamination, and incorrect counts? These errors erode your profit margins and brand reputation.
Mismatched Equipment
Frustrated with a blister machine and a cartoner that don't communicate? This "blame game" between suppliers leads to constant downtime and integration nightmares.
Compliance Headaches
Worried that your packaging line won't meet the strict audit requirements of WHO GMP, cGMP, or 21 CFR Part 11? Non-compliance is a risk you can't afford.
The HIJ-160BC: Your All-in-One Solution
This is more than a machine; it's our promise. The HIJ-160BC Blister Cartoning Machine integrates flawlessly, automates the entire process, and is built from the ground up to guarantee compliance and maximize your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
Step-by-Step Process
How Our Fully Automatic Blister Cartoning Machine Works: A Visual Guide
Transparency builds trust. See every stage of the process—from carton erection to final discharge—explained with real machine footage.
1
Step 1
Carton Erection
The journey begins. Flat, pre-folded cartons are automatically picked from a high-capacity magazine, erected into a 3D shape, and placed precisely into the transport chain. Our patented suction system ensures zero drop-offs.
- High-capacity carton magazine (up to 500 blanks)
- Vacuum suction cups with pressure monitoring
- Pre-forming rails for perfect alignment
2
Step 2
Leaflet Folding
Simultaneously, our GUK-style leaflet folder folds pre-cut paper into 1-4 folds with perfect accuracy, ready for insertion. The servo-driven system adjusts automatically for different leaflet sizes.
- 1-4 fold capability (Z-fold, C-fold, etc.)
- Automatic size detection and adjustment
- Anti-static ionizer to prevent paper sticking
3
Step 3
Blister Feeding
The automatic blister feeder receives stacked blister cards from your upstream machine. It uses a servo-driven system to separate and place each blister pack precisely for loading, with vision inspection for quality control.
- Stacked or robotic feeding options
- Servo-controlled separation (0.01mm precision)
- Vision system detects missing tablets/capsules
4
Step 4
Product Pushing
This is the core action. The blister pack(s) and folded leaflet are pushed horizontally into the open carton with a smooth, continuous motion, preventing any damage to the product. Cam-driven pushers ensure consistent force.
- Continuous motion (no stop-start jerks)
- Adjustable pushing force (1-3 kg)
- Synchronized with carton speed (no misalignment)
5
Step 5
Closing & Sealing
The carton's flaps are closed with precision folding rails. Depending on your needs, we offer both tuck-in closure (standard) and hot-melt glue sealing (optional) for enhanced security and tamper evidence.
- Tuck-in flaps (standard, no consumables)
- Hot-melt glue option (FDA-approved adhesive)
- Integrated dust extraction system
6
Step 6
Finished Product Discharge
Perfectly cartoned products are discharged, ready for case packing or serialization. Our system includes automatic rejection for any cartons with missing components, guaranteeing 100% quality.
- Conveyor discharge (adjustable height)
- Auto-rejection system (missing leaflet/blister)
- Interface for downstream equipment (case packer, labeler)

FAQ
Your Questions About Blister Cartoning Machines, Answered
We've been in this industry for 20 years. Here are the questions we hear most often—and the honest answers you deserve.
What is the price of your blister cartoning machine?
The blister cartoning machine price depends on two main factors: speed requirements and customization level. An intermittent motion model (30-60 boxes/min) is more affordable and ideal for startups or medium-scale production. Our continuous motion HIJ-160BC (up to 120 boxes/min) offers the best performance for high-volume pharmaceutical production. We never provide "one-size-fits-all" pricing because your project deserves a tailored solution. Contact us with your URS, and we'll provide a detailed, transparent quote within 24 hours.
We already have a blister machine. Can your cartoner be integrated?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in integrating with existing blister machines from manufacturers like Uhlmann, IMA, Marchesini, Bosch, and many others. Our engineering team has 20 years of experience in multi-vendor line integration. We'll conduct a thorough compatibility assessment, design custom interfaces if needed, and ensure seamless communication between your blister machine and our cartoner. You'll get synchronized speed control, automatic rejection systems, and unified HMI monitoring—all without replacing your existing equipment.
What makes a good pharmaceutical blister cartoning machine?
In our 20 years of experience, a good pharmaceutical blister cartoning machine must excel in three areas: 1) Strict GMP compliance in design, materials, and documentation (316L stainless steel contact parts, sanitary design, no product entrapment zones). 2) Stable, high-speed performance without damaging delicate blister packs or leaflets, achieved through servo-driven precision and gentle handling systems. 3) Fast, easy, and repeatable changeovers—our tool-free format parts and intelligent HMI ensure operators can switch products in under 15 minutes with minimal training. Our HIJ-160BC excels in all three areas, which is why it's trusted by WHO-prequalified facilities worldwide.
Do you have these machines for sale now? What is the lead time?
We often have standard models for sale with shorter lead times. A standard HIJ-160BC (no customization) typically takes 45-60 days from order confirmation to shipment. If you need a customized blister packaging line (tailored carton sizes, special leaflet folding, integration with existing equipment), the timeline is 90-120 days. We prioritize transparency: you'll receive a detailed production schedule and weekly progress updates. If you have an urgent deadline, contact us immediately—we've successfully delivered expedited projects for clients facing regulatory or market pressures.
What validation documents do you provide for GMP compliance?
We understand that compliance documentation is as critical as the machine itself. With every machine, we provide: Design Qualification (DQ), Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) protocols and reports, Installation Qualification (IQ) / Operational Qualification (OQ) templates, Material certificates (3.1 certificates for 316L stainless steel), Electrical schematics and P&IDs, Spare parts list with recommended inventory, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance documentation (for electronic batch records). Our team can also support your on-site commissioning and Performance Qualification (PQ) to ensure a smooth WHO GMP, FDA cGMP, or EU GMP audit.
What kind of after-sales support and warranty do you offer?
Our support doesn't end at shipment—it begins there. We offer a standard 18-month warranty (or 12 months after commissioning, whichever comes first) covering all mechanical and electrical components. Our 24/7 technical hotline ensures you can reach an engineer anytime, anywhere. We provide remote diagnostics via VPN connection, on-site service visits if needed, and maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory with fast shipping worldwide. We also offer annual preventive maintenance contracts and operator training programs (on-site or at our factory). Many of our clients have been running HIJ machines for over 10 years—our relationship is built for the long term.
Can you handle special carton materials or unique folding requirements?
Yes. We've handled everything from ultra-thin 200g/㎡ cartons for cost-sensitive markets to heavy 400g/㎡ board stock for premium packaging. We've also engineered solutions for recycled cardboard, coated stock, and tamper-evident designs. If your leaflet requires complex folding patterns (Z-fold, double parallel, gate fold) or if you need multi-language inserts, we can customize the leaflet station accordingly. Our R&D team thrives on challenges—send us your carton and leaflet samples, and we'll run tests at our facility to confirm feasibility before you commit.
