Helping to improve work of vital importance

Adapting to the evolving medical landscape
Medical organisations are committed to improving the health and lives of millions of people every year. At the same time, technological developments, market forces, pressure on healthcare and laws and regulations make the medical supply chain more complex. To be future-proof as a supplier of medical equipment and instruments, it is crucial to move with the changing medical landscape.
Medical and care organisations are keen on quality, cost price and delivery performance. Damage and delivery delays must be prevented as much as possible, and packaging plays a major role in this. But companies in the medical sector expect more from a supplier nowadays. They need a partner who not only delivers a product but also provides services to relieve them, and who thinks along about designing and optimising processes. The Packaging People of Faes help you become that partner by thinking along at an early stage about how you can add value to the supply chain of your medical customer.
Focus points for packaging of medical devices
You are going to deliver valuable, fragile medical equipment or instruments to a hospital, practice, clinic or training location. How can you best go about this? What are the most important points of attention to ensure that deliveries reach their destination complete and undamaged?

Six steps to a customised solution
Identifying your packaging needs
A case, crate or flight case is so much more than just packaging. More than a casing for your products, equipment or parts. What the ideal packaging is for your company and application depends on countless factors. Our packaging experts will map out your specific requirements during an intake meeting.
A standard or customised packaging?
Now it is up to us to find the most suitable packaging for you on the basis of the intake. Sometimes, existing packaging from our range will suffice, but sometimes customisation is required or desired. Our advisors will present this to our design office, where designers will translate your requirements into the best solution.
The first glance at your packaging solution
Are you satisfied with our initial advice and proposal? Then our experienced packaging engineers will get to work on a concrete design for your customised packaging. We have our own in-house design office, which means that we have extensive expertise and short lines of communication. This is how we work together on your packaging solution.
Online proofing
Once the products or parts have been measured and the design and drawing have been made, they are presented via an online tool. Via this tool, all project members can place their comments or agree directly. Online proofing is efficient and transparent, and all versions of the design are retained.
Our craftsmen get to work at our in-house workshop
After approval of the design, the designers convert the drawings into a workshop order. Craftsmen then produce the product based on the production techniques suitable for the application. If desired, our production staff can provide the case with a customised interior and printing.
Advice and full service
After delivery, our service doesn’t just stop. We are always at your disposal if you have any feedback or questions. We offer various services with which we can take your concerns about packaging completely out of your hands. We are also at your service when you have a complex logistical or packaging problem.
We are The Packaging People
The medical sector requires a broader scope of suppliers
For many manufacturers of medical instruments, equipment, aids, prostheses and others, it is no longer enough to be just a product supplier. Hospitals, clinics and practices have an increasing need for a supplier who:
- thinking in their interests and those of their patients;
- ensures that they never miss out on medical supplies;
- guarantees that products are delivered in the right condition by thinking in advance about possible challenges in the logistics chain;
- also offers logistics services, such as storage, fulfilment and return logistics of packaging.
At Faes we understand this. With the help of smart packaging management and next level services you distinguish yourself in the medical sector. Our packaging experts will be happy to tell you more.
