• Smart blister packs with NFC/RFID tracking

• Child-resistant and senior-friendly designs

 Global Outlook:

North America and Europe currently lead the market, but Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, propelled by population growth, urbanization, and booming pharmaceutical industries. As companies strive for eco-conscious and intelligent packaging, blister solutions will remain a top choice for manufacturers globally.
