Custom packaging development considers design, distribution and market factors. Working with our customer, we define the needs and wants, and co-develop a package appropriate for distribution and effective in the use environments of the medical device.

 

Medical companies often use multiple suppliers to print and manufacture their medical packaging and with our extensive network of qualified vendors, coupled with our ISO9001:2015 certified quality control procedures, Really Good Packaging Group streamlines that process by offering a single supply point.

 

We have been producing medical packaging for over twenty years and this experience and collaboration has enabled us to gain an insight into the importance of conforming to industry standards. We specialize in small quantities and quick turns for implementing new projects, as well as full production runs.

 

It starts with the primary packaging retention element; a thermoformed tray or a die cut insert that is  placed into the a sterilization pouch. The retention element is designed to stabilize and protect the device from damage and protect the pouch from punctures which compromises the sterility of the device.

 

We then design and manufacture shelf boxes that are complementary to the tray or card, which further protects the device from damage and contamination. To complete the system, we design and manufacture the sterilization “Master Shipper,” which is designed to facilitate successful sterilization based on our customers’ specifications.

 

A typical medical device packaging engagement will address each of the following milestones:

 

• Analyze the device design for “package-ability.”

RGP Group may offer suggestions of minor device design changes to enhance the performance of the package, especially through the distribution environment.

• Review the anticipated use environment.

Consider presentation and ease of use in operating room with medical personnel.

Determine barrier material selection and the number of barriers to employ (single or double barrier, flexible pouch vs. rigid tray, etc.).

• Design the secondary and tertiary box packaging.

• Design the sealing, distribution and aging protocols to support the quality plan.

• IFU - Assist with copy translation, instructions for use and label design.
