Services

Constructional design

First impressions count, so packaging needs to stand out on the shelf as well as survive the journey to it.
Our constructional design service draws on a deep understanding of the supply chain journey coupled with real expertise in CAD/CAM design. The result is medical device packaging that works well, looks great and always goes the distance, adding precious extra value to your brand.
Incredible versatility
  • We work with products of all shapes and sizes in any volumes, using the perfect substrates to create packs for every life science sector.
Comprehensive process
  • We can bring your vision to life or start right from scratch, using CAD/CAM technology to showcase ideas on screen then create and refine any samples.
Comprehensive process
  • Our rigorous transit trials will test medical device packaging for the real world, so products arrive in perfect condition right from day one.

Transit trials

Whatever they are and wherever they’re going, it’s crucial that products arrive in perfect condition. 
Our transit trials make sure of it. Better still, we’ve got the expertise to ensure products aren’t unnecessarily overpackaged, because excessive packaging isn’t just bad for the planet and your sustainability plan, it’s infuriating for end users. Best of all, we can have your packaging officially certified, keeping you compliant and strengthening your brand.
Lower costs
  • Less packaging material and reduced wastage through damaged stock means lower costs to your business.
Higher Satisfaction
  • Reliably perfect products that are quick and easy to access are great for customer retention.
Total compliance
  • Officially certified testing to rigorous International Safe Transit Association criteria.

Creating a great product is one thing: getting it to market is another. Getting it to market quickly enough to avoid penalties and retests?  That’s the real challenge. 
For years, MBM and our specialist partners have been helping start-ups and established life science brands navigate the ever-changing complexities of regulation, both at home and abroad. From design file reviews and advice through to product-to-market pathway planning – think of us as the fast lane.

Brand design

No matter how good a product is, it’ll never get noticed without a unique and compelling brand behind it.
Our creative partners can develop an unforgettable visual identity that suits your market and authentically reflects the values and personality of your brand. They’ll use everything from colour and typography to stunning photography to achieve this, then roll it out consistently across every touchpoint and platform: printed, broadcast, digital, online.
Better connections

Stronger messaging
  • Good branding supports and reinforces your marketing messaging, helping you engage with customers more authentically and effectively.
Added value
  • Intelligent, relevant, well-crafted branding adds desirability to products, helping them command higher prices for greater profitability.

Fully integrated automation delivers beautifully seamless systems linked to our ERP, while functions like weight checks and barcode verification help us track each process and eliminate errors.
