Case Studies

As a global orthopaedic medical device company that specializes in the design and manufacture of reconstructive devices, Wright needed protective packaging that could protect a multitude of various sized and shaped implant screws while ensuring that sterility was upheld, withstand EtO and Gamma sterilization as well as be user-friendly.

As a global medical device company that concentrates on the development of innovative solutions for the spine and orthopedic markets, Orthofix holds itself and its suppliers to high standards of product performance and packaging innovation.  Which is why Barger, working collaboratively with Orthofix, designed and manufactured for a large number of different sized components, ensuring each were equally protected no matter what the size or shape.

The folks over at Justin’s were looking for a convenient and fun design for their new Snack Packs’ packaging. With one part Justin’s nut butter and one part gluten-free pretzels, the snacks are a slam dunk when it comes to taste, but Justin’s wanted to feel as good about their packaging as they do the product inside.

For its newest addition to the popular men’s Fusion^® ProGlide^® line, Gillette takes the previously used sustainable bamboo pack and matches it with an ultra-clear, easy open thermoformed blister designed in collaboration with and manufactured by Placon. When designing packaging with Gillette’s PackDev group, aesthetic design is important in ensuring maximum shelf appeal, utilizing recycled content is necessary in meeting P&G’s 2020 sustainability goals while creating packaging with effortless ease of opening is always required. These elements when brought together make Gillette’s Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall technology packaging as refreshingly striking in appearance as it is sustainable and easy to open.

Gillette has long been known for their innovative packaging designs, and the Venus razor packaging project was no exception. Packaging requirements included creating a PVC-free package design with post-consumer recycled content that is easy to open by the consumer.

In packaging design, innovation can be in the form of hundreds of small iterations. What some may consider minutiae improvements to a design, those in the packaging profession can fully appreciate the innovation and meticulous reengineering and revision to both the aesthetic and structural features of a package from start to final launch. It’s the small steps towards packaging “perfection” in a new packaging design project – feeding, growing and molding an idea until it exceeds the customer’s final expectations for a truly successful product launch. The CoverGirl Ultra Smooth foundation and applicator package is a thermoformed blister designed to hold 12 foundation shades/SKUs packaged in a tube along with a silicone foundation applicator.
