10 syringes, 1 eco-friendly wallet
The Problem
The packaging process was labor-intensive and costly, slowing down production. Packaging ten separate syringes into one outer box without quantity indication made inventory management difficult and risked customer satisfaction. The absence of space for additional information hindered safety compliance and user guidance—crucial aspects in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Solution
Having experienced the satisfactory services of Ecobliss before, like proactive communication about lead times, pricing, and material availability and given the freedom to innovate, we were allowed to propose a cold seal wallet packaging configuration addressing all the issues:
- Quantity Clarity: The wallet made it immediately clear how many syringes were included, enhancing inventory control and reducing shipping errors. On customers side it was possible to determine at a glance how many syringes were left in the pack.
- Information Space: Ample space allowed to include vital details about the syringes, usage instructions, and regulatory information, improving compliance and user experience.
- Sustainability: Shifting from plastic to recyclable cardboard reduced environmental impact and aligned with customer's sustainability goals.
Prototypes were developed, and after successful drop and transport tests being conducted, the viability of our solution was confirmed.
Implementation and Benefits
By adopting the wallet packaging, multiple benefits have been realized:
- Transportation Efficiency: the wallets are shipped flat after pre-sealing necessary parts, reducing transportation volume and costs. The wallets could then easily be erected and syringes inserted, streamlining the packaging process.
- Cost Savings: Significant reductions in both packaging material costs and processing expenses due to simplified assembly and reduced packaging activities.
- Improved Inventory Management: Hospitals and healthcare providers could instantly see syringe quantities, making it easier to track usage and determine when to reorder.
- Enhanced Communication: Available packaging space improved communication with end-users and supported better patient care.
- Eco-friendly: Transitioning to cardboard reduced plastic use, enhancing customer's corporate social responsibility profile.
Customer's Reflections
Customer found the development and implementation of the new packaging exceptionally smooth. It was appreciated how during development, the needs were clearly understood and effectively translated into an efficient solution. The Ecobliss proactive approach and commitment to keeping them informed stood out, leading to efficiency gains and cost savings that exceeded their expectations. Impressed with the outcome, soon a second project was initiated utilizing the same wallet concept, reinforcing their trust in the Ecobliss partnership.
