The application of a skin packaging system allows adhering film to a printed paper board or other surfaces, like carton, plastic or aluminium; for the purpose of packaging a product for display, shipping or protection. The cavity or pocket contains the product and the lid seals the product in the package.

Toys, hardware, and electrical items, as well as pharmaceutical tablets, capsules or lozenges; can be packaged by a blister machine, exposing the item through a clear pre-formed plastic such as PVC. The consumer can easily look at the product through the transparent plastic.
