Labeling and Packaging for Medical Devices
Ensuring compliance and product integrity
Packaging & Labeling
What is IT and why is it critical?
Labeling and packaging are essential stages in the medical device lifecycle. They ensure not only correct usage and patient safety but also product integrity during transportation, storage, and application. These processes are tightly regulated by global authorities such as the FDA and the European Commission, and must comply with strict technical standards. Inadequate labeling or packaging can result in non-compliance, product recalls, or patient risk—making these services mission-critical for OEMs, hospitals, and global distributors.
