What Medical Device Companies Need From a Packaging Supplier
Packaging for medical device companies splits cleanly into two questions. The first is what your own program requires: any regulatory, validation, sterility, or testing requirements attached to your device are yours to define and verify against your own quality system and your own standards. Teal does not advise on those. The second question is the one Teal answers: who builds the printed outer carton, the shipper, and the kit, and to what dimensions, board, and artwork.
On that second question, Teal Packaging builds to the spec you supply. Standard orders start at 50 units, specialty rigid construction at 100 units, and volume pricing runs from $0.44 per unit as quantities grow. Every order includes free dieline design, full-color printing, two rounds of revisions, a digital proof before anything goes to press, and free US shipping. If your quality system specifies a board grade, a caliper, a dimension tolerance, or an artwork control, send it with the request and it becomes the spec the job is built to.
Formats That Fit Device and Kit Packaging
Folding Cartons
A printed folding carton is the common outer format for a single device or a single-use item. It ships flat, prints in full color across every panel, and gives you the surface area for the identification and artwork fields your own documentation calls for.
Corrugated Shippers
Case-level shipments to distributors, hospitals, or clinics travel in corrugated. B-flute gives the heavier wall where a case carries weight or stacks, and the dieline can be cut for a fixed carton count so quantities are fixed at the point of pack.
Rigid Presentation Boxes
Capital equipment, demonstration units, and sales sample sets are where rigid construction over chipboard fits. The lid resists, the contents stay in a fixed arrangement, and the wrap takes foil stamping and embossing. Specialty rigid starts at 100 units.
Kitted Assortments
Where a device ships with accessories, documentation, or consumables, Teal's fulfillment operation can kit and assemble the components you supply into a single packed unit rather than shipping them separately for assembly elsewhere.
Materials Worth Specifying
White SBS at 14 to 18pt gives the bright, even print surface that most device cartons are specified on, and it holds fine type. Corrugated E-flute suits smaller printed cartons and mailers, while B-flute is the grade for outer cases. Rigid chipboard at 1.5 to 2.5mm is used for presentation boxes. Kraft paperboard at 300 to 400gsm is available where an uncoated board is preferred. FSC-certified and recyclable stocks are available by specification, and Teal prints with soy and water-based inks.
What to Think About Before You Order
Bring your spec, not just your artwork. If your program has already fixed a board, a caliper, a dimension tolerance, or an artwork approval route, state it up front and Teal will build to it. If the spec is still open, send the device dimensions and the packed weight and the dieline gets drawn from those at no cost.
Plan print coverage and artwork revisions around your own approval cycle. Two rounds of revisions and a digital proof are included, and for a device program the proof is usually the artifact your internal reviewer signs against. Build that review time into the schedule, because production time counts from proof approval, not from order placement.
Use the quantity tiers to match program stage. A clinical batch, a demonstration run, or a first commercial lot is what the 50-unit minimum exists for. A commercially released device with steady demand belongs at a higher quantity tier where the unit price falls. The sample kit is free with $19.99 shipping, and that shipping cost is credited toward your first custom order.
Decide the approval route before the proof arrives. If your artwork needs review by more than one function, that review is often the longest part of the schedule, and it happens after the proof is issued rather than before. Naming a single approver and a target sign-off date turns the digital proof into a one-round step rather than a queue. Send print-ready files against Teal's free dieline template, keep type clear of the fold scores, and use the two included revision rounds for real design changes. Production time counts from proof approval.
Production Timing and Fulfillment
Standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex builds or high-volume orders taking longer, plus 2 to 5 business days for US delivery. Express and economy delivery options are available. If a date is fixed, rush runs from about 4 to 7 business days after proof approval on qualified ready-to-print jobs, quoted at rush review. Rush qualification depends on print-ready artwork, clear dimensions and quantity, an approved material direction, and fast proof approval. Complex structures, specialty finishes and high volumes may need a standard window.
Teal also runs fulfillment from West Chicago, Illinois: kitting, assembly, pick-and-pack, storage, and ship-to-recipient. Teal is a US manufacturer with production facilities in West Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou, and each job is routed to a facility by the production team based on the spec. Kitting, storage, and pick-and-pack cover the pack-out and distribution steps for programs that would rather not run those in-house.
