Cases and Medical Containers
Medical cases and containers’ design are specifically to store and ship drugs, vaccines, medicines, medical appliances, and other products used in the medical industry. Flexcon offers cases and medical containers designed, manufactured, and shipped for medical manufacturing, storage, presentation, shipping, and distribution applications. Our cases and containers are made from industrial-grade materials that prevent corrosion, rust, and impacts from a range of chemicals and moisture. They are available in standard and custom sizes, styles, and features.
What Materials Make Medical Cases and Containers?
When designing custom medical cases and containers, one critical factor to consider is the type of material used in its manufacture. Choosing the correct material is critical for maintaining medical products’ different characteristics, properties, and strengths. The following are some of the materials used to manufacture Flexcon containers:
- Molded plastic: Mold plastic is one of the most commonly used materials for medical containers and cases. They are durable and exhibit good mechanical properties. Molded plastic delivers clear and tough materials that work well for different medical applications. Common plastics used for making cases and containers are PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, and PS.
- Fluted plastic: Fluted polypropylene is a lightweight corrugated plastic that won’t easily crack under pressure. They are specifically designed to withstand crushing and shocking damage and are excellent for water-resistant casings.. Fluted designs typically weigh less than solid plastics but with similar strength to weight ratio. This makes them ideal for shipping long distances. Its surfaces are conducive to printing and can be customized as necessary when used for signage.
- Metal: The common types of metal used in the manufacture of medical containers are steel and aluminum. The medical field typically requires higher levels of sanitation and cleanliness, making stainless steel and aluminum the metals of choice for container manufacture. These materials also boast unmatched strength, resistance to corrosion, and minimal maintenance. We design metal containers and cases to meet the stringent requirements for a rigid design and fabrication process.
- Foam: Foam material can be categorized into closed and open cell foam. When used to manufacture medical cases and containers, both materials provide superior cushioning and protective cushioning needed in the storage and shipping of medical products. Some of the most common types of foam materials used in medical containers include EVA foam, polyethylene foam, and polyurethane foam. Clean rooms and sterile environments often require closed cell options.
- Wood and composite: Wood and composite materials are an ideal choice for medical container manufacture owing to their unmatched properties. Wood composite containers are beneficial for storing and shipping medical devices that are exceedingly large or oddly shaped.
Cases and Medical Containers’ Key Features
The following are the key features of cases and medical containers from Flexcon:
- Foam dunnage: Our containers come with foam dunnage used to hold all parts of a specific product or application and improve efficiency by reducing the number of containers needed to hold individual parts. Our foam dunnage is durable, affordable, and well suited to a variety of applications. We also provide custom dunnage solutions to meet specific needs.
- Zippers: Zippers help with storage and organization. They ensure the case or container is properly closed, securing its contents. Zippers are easy to operate and are far more convenient than a row of buttons or snaps since they can be opened and closed in a matter of seconds.
- Locking latches: Our containers feature locking systems that ensure your products are fully protected and secured from theft and break-ins. The locks are well concealed and help prevent thieves from cutting the shackles.
- Custom printing: Our cases and containers feature surfaces that are conducive to printing and can be customized as necessary when used for signage. Depending on a company’s specific needs, our experts can print logos and advertising content on a container to increase brand visibility.
- Velcro closures: Velcro closures will sew into fabric inserts and dividers or attach to lids on rigid boxes and cases to secure fragile goods within containers. They help reduce the overall bulk and weight of the container while maximizing reusability. They also add superior performance while transporting shipments.
- Dividers: Our cases and containers come with divider systems that secure and prevent movements of products in transit. Dividers also enhance packing efficiency while maximizing space for cost savings.
