Medical trays and blisters

Medical manufacturers rely on Nelipak Healthcare Packing to provide a wide range of custom sterile and non-sterile, single and double barrier medical device packaging systems. Nelipak’s experienced in-house packaging teams and tool development capabilities help increase products’ speed to market while designing packaging that reduces unit costs and ensures total product protection and integrity.

Medical procedure trays

Nelipak Healthcare Packing’s custom designed procedure trays address the needs of medical device customers and hospital staff for packaging that is easy to use, reduces handling and saves time, while ensuring sterility and reducing the risk of error during procedure.

Nelipak’s packaging brings together all of the instruments and supplies needed for the physician to perform the procedure, in many instances without the assistance of a nurse or aide.

Components can be packaged in order of use so the clinician can progress efficiently through the procedure – without any unnecessary waste. Since the tray is pre-packaged and sterilised, staff do not need to assemble, fewer touch points improves infection prevention.

Pharmaceutical packaging

Nelipak Healthcare Packaging understands the multitude of production requirements associated with pharmaceutical and combination products to keep the active ingredients safe and to maintain drug efficacy. Nelipak has experience working with high barrier materials where additional protection is required.

Nelipak Healthcare Packaging has designed and built a range of custom made sealing machines ideal for Class 7 cleanroom use. Easy to operate with low maintenance requirements, these high performance tray and blister lid sealers come with a range of options to suit any manufacturing need.

Suitable for medical device and pharmaceutical cleanroom operations, they seal a range of coated lid stock including Tyvek, paper, film or foil. Nelipak in-house-produced matching sealing tools ensure validated seals when used with our blisters and machines.
