[QUOTE="Clawrence, post: 556703, member: 7384"] Something really cool that I only recently found out is that the company i work for owned the same machines Palitoy used to seal the blisters onto the cards. Unfortunately the machine was sold off early 2000 as we moved production to China, but i do remember it being used as we used it to seal Electrical accessories under the Wellco brand (I designed the packaging). The machines used were from a german brand called ILLIG. Black & decker also used these machines and Palitoy actually visited there plant up north to see the ILLIG's in action and purchased them off the back of the demo. If my memory is correct there were 2 modulars a forming station that created the clamshell (blister) using a vacuum former and metal moulds then the other part would would seal the blister to the card. The cardback has a special coating of heat seal lacquer which when heated glues the card to the card. [/QUOTE]
