Medicox Enters Blister Packaging Business... Signs Exclusive Distribution Agreement with BlissPack

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] MedicoX, a KOSDAQ-listed company, is taking on the role of domestic and international general distributor for blister packaging business specialized in freeze-dried products such as cosmetics and diagnostic reagents. On the 7th, MedicoX announced that it has signed a general distribution contract with Blispec, a company specializing in blister packaging and production.

Blister packaging is a method where the front part of the product is formed with a plastic sheet, the contents are filled into the molded section, and then a film is covered and sealed by adhesion. Since the contents or products are embedded in the rigid molded packaging part, it safely protects the product and prevents deterioration, making it an economical and functional packaging method.

Blispec, with which MedicoX signed the general distribution contract, is well known for being the first in Korea to successfully develop blister packaging, equipment, and production systems for cosmetics. In 2015, it also established the country's first preservative-free freeze-dried production line for cosmetics, completing a blister-specialized packaging system with high moisture barrier properties.

The company expects that since Blispec is currently promoting blister packaging projects for buffers of global pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic reagents, supply contracts will follow soon. MedicoX plans to expand Blispec’s blister production technology sales and marketing line into the pharmaceutical and bio markets through this general distribution contract.

A MedicoX official stated, “For pharmaceuticals and medical products where blister packaging can be applied, it can secure product stability and increase consumer convenience. In particular, blister packaging with high moisture barrier properties can extend the product’s shelf life, which can also be considered from the perspective of improving product distribution efficiency.” He added, “Since we have secured the supply rights for all products manufactured and produced by Blispec in the future, we will strive to pioneer competitive new markets and lead to performance growth.”
