New-Tech Packaging
Scripting a New Paradigm in Packaging

Medical packaging is definitely an expense, so leading-edge design is crucial to minimize it. In the medical device, retail OTC and pharmaceutical ecosystem, packaging must adhere to FDA regulations, which pose an even greater challenge to controlling costs. Organizations sometimes overlook that a packaging audit can bring substantial expenditure reductions. “We have saved pharmaceutical and medical device companies millions of dollars with our technical approach to packaging. We find the lowest cost method to accomplish the desired results without compromising quality,” explains Michael Mathias, V.P. of Business Development, New-Tech Packaging. New-Tech Packaging is a packaging solution provider who delivers innovative and cost-effective custom-packaging solutions especially tailored to the needs of medical device, retail OTC, and pharmaceutical companies.

New-Tech Packaging fosters a controlled and secure environment to design and manufacture returnable transport packaging suitcases and totes for medical devices. Many of these returnable packages come with a lifetime warranty. To protect the valuable contents New-Tech creates protective foam inserts and partitions. Because these suitcase and tote designs can be classified as medical devices, New-Tech complies with FDA 21 CFR, Part 820 quality regulations. The company has an in-house manufacturing facility to also deliver corrugated packaging, plastic corrugated, and foam packaging.

New-Tech Packaging is an FDA-registered repackager and relabeler, providing contract packaging services for the medical devices, retail OTC and pharmaceutical industries. It inspects, reworks, repackages, and re-labels packaging, both proactively and to remedy customers’ non-conformances. Along with FDA certifications, the company is DEA-registered, packaging controlled substances such as pseudoephedrine. Additionally, the company provides retail packaging and contract packaging services to produce shrink, blister, and clamshell packages for retail OTC customers. New- Tech Packaging avails a quality system proven by FDA, DEA, ISO and customer audits.

Cold chain packaging is another New-Tech Packaging forte. It manufactures foil-bubble coolers and distributes a variety of cooler and gel packs.

Without compromising quality standards, we engineer cost savings into our packaging and services to save our customers millions of dollars

It strives to reduced dimensional size to minimize freight expenditures without compromising temperature requirements. Following California’s government leanings to ban EPS, New-Tech is now expanding its ability to supply compostable/curbside recycled coolers for cold-chain packaging at prices comparable to EPS. “Continually improving our offering and cost position helps our customers in their challenging competitive and regulatory environment,” says Mathias.

“What really separates us from others is our knowledge and technical expertise to optimally use the right packaging materials and the optimum method to achieve the lowest total cost,” explains Mathias. New-Tech Packaging’s unique value proposition leverages in-depth technical expertise to re-engineer packages and economize on materials. Mathias explains that their team conducts packaging audits to understand the challenges, post an expert team and design an optimal solution that specifically addresses each problem.

Mathias shares a client’s story that provides an overall picture of the benefits New-Tech Packaging brings. An over-the-counter billion-dollar brand was troubled with the excessive plastic material in its PVC clamshell packages. The team at New-tech Packaging enabled the client to reduce the plastic content by two-thirds, convert to environment-friendly recycled PET, increased its marketing billboard, increase production throughput and save millions of dollars as a result.

Packaging is no longer an arduous task for pharmaceutical, retail OTC, and medical device companies with the assistance of New-Tech’s state-of-the-art solutions targeted to reduce costs.
