OBJECTIVE

This large manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies and devices provides product to a variety of large healthcare systems, independent physicians and even at-home patients. Initially, many of their packaging options were done manually. In order to grow and efficiently meet consumer demand,  they needed to find a packaging partner who could automate their complex system. In addition to bandwidth concerns, some of the customerโ€™s more sensitive productsโ€”such as medicines that require temperature controlโ€”needed advanced shipping solutions. Most importantly, this medical supplier needed  
a full-service packaging partner who understood the life sciences sector and could meet their needs on a massive scale.

APPROACH

Over the last decade, the experts at Shorr have applied extensive streamlining solutions to the customerโ€™s manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. Shorr implemented stretch film, tape, bundlers and void fill productsโ€”along with innovative equipment for application such as Lantech stretch wrappers, 3M Case sealers and an APM shrink bundlerโ€”to automate packaging in their production facility. Along with materials and equipment, Shorr provides service to that equipment in all of the customerโ€™s distribution centers ranging in ย size from 200,000-1.2 million square feet across the U.S. and Mexico. ย Most recently, Shorr created a sustainable solution for shipping temperature-sensitive medicine to at-home customers using corrugated coolers with recycled PET insulated walls.

OUTCOMES

The success of this partnership is driven largely by Shorrโ€™s ability to apply large-scale holistic solutions while complying with the strict standards of the life sciences industry. After a decade of collaboration, Shorr Packaging provides the ultimate efficiencyโ€”shipping to all 52 distribution centers within a five-day ship point (though usually itโ€™s done in two days)โ€”a feat no other supplier has accomplished yet. By employing the Storopack system nationwide, this medical supplier can package shipments faster, saving money and increasing through-put for their ever-evolving business.
