The ORTHOFIX® Medical Tray, (Gold Award Winner – Industrial Packaging Category), is a superb design that has features to suspend a set of medical device screws with HA coating that prevents abrasion or rubbing off the critical coating that needs to be on each screw for proper medical operating room usage. The high level of difficulty and precision make this package truly one-of-a-kind that meets a solution for the customer as a result.

The PACLOCK Bi-Fold Clamshell, (Silver Award Winner – Industrial Packaging Category), allows PACLOCK to have 100% more space to hold graphic and product information within the package. More product information allows the end customer to read and learn about the product prior to purchase, which will increase point of sale by having more information at the customer fingertips.
