qikCombo: A Revolutionary Combo Run Program for Blister Cards

At PM Packaging, we have been committed to innovation for over 40 years, continuously evolving to provide our customers with cutting-edge packaging solutions that meet their diverse needs. One of our most recent innovations is the introduction of qikCombo, a unique combo run program for blister cards designed to deliver significant benefits in terms of cost-efficiency, quality, and delivery times.

What is qikCombo?

The qikCombo program was created to offer our clients the ability to produce blister card orders ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 pieces, making it easier to manage production costs while enhancing profit margins and improving delivery times. This program is particularly beneficial for companies that require lower volumes but have been struggling with the high costs typically associated with low-volume production runs.

In traditional blister card production, many businesses face a difficult choice: pay higher prices to offset production costs or buy large quantities to obtain a better price but then incur additional storage costs. This can lead to possible waste due to damage, design changes, or product obsolescence. With qikCombo, you can say goodbye to those worries and enjoy streamlined, efficient blister card production that saves you both time and money.

How qikCombo Works

The beauty of the qikCombo program lies in its ability to group multiple part numbers into the same production run. In fact, we can combine between 5 and 20 part numbers from different clients into a single production order. This means our clients only pay for what is proportional to the square inches that their blister card designs require from each sheet, significantly reducing production costs.

By sharing production runs, we help our clients save on tooling costs and set-up times. In addition to cost savings, qikCombo also speeds up delivery times. Because we treat combo runs the same as larger volume orders, we can offer delivery within 10 workdays after the approval of artwork and color proofs.

By using qikCombo, our clients can avoid the need for large storage facilities and complex inventory management systems, as the program is designed to reduce overproduction and keep inventory at optimal levels.

Key Benefits of qikCombo

The qikCombo program offers a number of significant benefits that make it the ideal solution for businesses seeking high-quality blister card packaging at affordable prices:

• Cost Savings: Clients save on tooling and set-up costs, only paying for their share of the production sheet.
• Efficient Production: By combining orders from multiple clients, we streamline the production process and pass the savings on to you.
• Faster Delivery Times: Receive your blister card orders within 10 workdays after artwork and color proof approvals.
• Reduced Storage Costs: Avoid the need for large storage facilities by ordering only what you need.
• High-Quality Output: Even though qikCombo focuses on efficiency, we never compromise on quality—each blister card is manufactured to our high standards.

Requirements to Join qikCombo

To take advantage of the qikCombo program, your blister card designs must meet a few specific requirements. These include:

• Single Seal Blister Card: Your packaging must be a single-seal design.
• Blister Board Material: Cards must be made from 20pt Blister Board material.
• CMYK Color Process: Designs must use a 4-color process (CMYK) on the front, with the back printed in black or left unprinted.
• Water-Based Varnish: Cards must be finished with a water-based varnish for protection and durability.

These requirements help ensure that we can provide you with the highest-quality blister cards while maintaining the cost efficiencies offered by qikCombo.

The Future of qikCombo

At PM Packaging, we are constantly striving to improve our products and services, and qikCombo is no exception. In the future, we plan to expand the program to include additional styles of blister cards, materials, and other components of packaging that meet the necessary requirements to be part of this cost-saving program.
