Medical packaging covers different products such as peel pouches to blister packs and lidding materials.
Source a Full-Service Supplier
Packaging is one of the most critical steps in the medical device production process, especially when the products are sold as sterile products. It is good to look for reliable source or supplier before venturing into medical packaging.
Look for Versatility
Look of a packaging partner with company’s level of technical proficiency, its tooling, printing capabilities, packaging machinery, certificates and clean room environment.
Have Specifications Ready
As in all outsourcing, it is important to provide your business partner with exact specifications and sample parts or devices. Many projects run into trouble when specifications are sent to a packaging outsourcer before the product’s design has been finalized. The contractor needs to know specific requirements for packaging including how the product will be transported and secured with the packaging, sterility issues and marketing aspects such as appearance and sense.
Remember the Incidentals
Consider how your packaged product will be shipped, stacked and stored. If not addressed at the beginning of the packaging process, you could end up with individually packaged products that are cumbersome to shelve or that do not fit into a shipping carton cost-effectively.
