Advanced Technology Improves Packaging Without Increasing Costs

A Minnesota-based medical company that manufactures urological and urinary continence care products was searching for a solution to their existing thermoformed tray used to protect a medical product during shipping and handling.

Sticky problem hurts the bottom line
In the existing tray, the medical part was sticking to the pouch used to seal the tray which decreased production rate and increased the number of rejects.

When presented with this challenge, Brookdale's award-winning engineering team utilized several of their advanced technology tools:

• Solid Works 3D Design & CAD system to redesign the thermoformed tray
• PRO-E CAD/CAM Software to develop the new molds and…
• T-Sim thermoforming simulation software to digitally test the design before committing to new tooling.

Improvement is in the details
The new design created a more accurately detailed channel that was better suited to the medical part's features - this prevented the part from sticking to the protective pouch.

Through Brookdale Plastics' innovative use of advanced technology, they virtually eliminated the rejects without increasing the packaging costs.

Better bottom line and happier clients
As a result, the medical manufacturer's packaging rate and efficiency has increased creating cost savings. And the icing on the cake? The newly designed tray makes the product easier for the patient to use.
