Manufacturer wins gold award for medical tray packaging design

Manufacturer and designer Placon was recently announced as the gold award winner for its packaging design at the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) conference.

The annual SPE conference took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in September earlier this year. At the event, Placon’s Orthofix medical tray was presented with the gold award for the industrial packaging category.

The Orthofix medical tray has features which enable it to suspend a set of medical device screws with hydroxyapatite coating that prevents abrasion or rubbing off the critical coating that needs to be on each screw for proper medical operating room usage.

Dan Mohs, Placon’s chairman and CEO commented: “2019 has been a great year for Placon. Being able to highlight our design capabilities, combined with the innovation our team brings to the packaging industry. It is truly a pleasure to be a part of such a great group of people.

“By working with our customers to find packaging solutions, we continue to move the needle forward within the packaging industry that results in creating simply better packaging for our customers and the end users.”
