Sliding blisters with precision-cut openings allow customers to see and touch the product directly. Perfect for retail presentation with a haptic experience — controlled access with full theft protection.
The sliding blister with cutout is an evolution of the classic sliding blister: the thermoformed plastic hood features one or more precision-cut openings that allow customers to see and touch the product directly — before making the purchase decision. These cutouts are precisely milled or punched and have smooth, safe edges.
Studies in consumer goods marketing confirm: customers who are allowed to touch a product develop a stronger emotional bond and purchase more frequently. The sliding blister with cutout combines this haptic accessibility with reliable theft protection — the product remains securely in the packaging yet is selectively accessible.
Cosmetics, electronics, tools and toys — wherever the sensory properties of the product are sales-relevant, the cutout blister excels. Whether texture, surface, shape or size: controlled access demonstrably increases the conversion rate at the point of sale.
We manufacture the blister hood from PET, PVC or PS — depending on the desired dimensional stability and transparency. Cutout size, shape and position are realised precisely to your specifications. The cardboard backing remains fully printable. From 5,000 units, Made in Germany.
Grip cutouts enable direct touching of the product — demonstrably increases emotional purchase bonding.
