Medical Device Leader Receives New-Tech Packaging Workstations…
New-Tech’s packaging workstations increase productivity and workflow for a leading Memphis Manufacturer. The workstations are equipped with overhead digital cameras, adjustable light fixtures, Corian® work surfaces, and compact wiring troughs to tame computer cables.
New-Tech has teamed up with Dehnco to offer quality packaging workstations. With over 20 years of experience, Dehnco offers a wide variety of workstations that can be easily customized with accessories to create the perfect workstation. Dehnco's modular designs also make it easy to reconfigure workstations over time as business needs change.
New-Tech believes that good design is an interactive process beginning with a discussion of the customer’s goals for productivity, workflow, and footprint. Based upon customer’s needs, New-Tech puts together a 3-D drawing of the proposed workstation and suggests the proper components to improve productivity and workflow.

Customer Cuts Costs By Using Recycled Air Pilows
Void Fill is a key packaging product for distribution centers in Memphis. Customers want to protect their products at the lowest packaging cost. After testing various manufacturers, the decision was made to go with New-Tech's Recycled Air Pillows that withstood a compression test of 120lbs. The Recycled Air Pillows are 100% recycled and green in color, immediately relaying to the consumer that they are proactive in protecting the environment. After a few short days of using the new product and machinery, it was determined that the employees quickly adapted to the operation of the new equipment and there was no "down time". In fact, the employees liked working with the pillows better than their previous void fill; they felt they loaded into their boxes easier and quicker. Our customers appreciate the modernistic approach to helping their customers reduce cost through the combination of savings in labor, materials, and freight.
Medical Device Packaging Success
After a surgery, unused sterile components are returned to the device manufacturer for future surgeries. To re-capture traceability information is extremely time-consuming. New-Tech accelerated this process with a program to unitize similar components in a shrink sleeve, so that returned items could be received as a group rather than individually. New-Tech also introduced a shipper that reduced dimensional weight and ancillary charges from the carrier. These improvements amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in freight costs and significantly higher throughput.
Customer Saves $60,000 by Adjusting Box Size
NTP conducted a Packaging Audit for a local electronics leader on the packing process of their most utilized corrugated carton. The goal was to determine whether or not the carton could be re-sized to lower the dimensional weight shipping charge. The results of the evaluation showed that this was possible. By doing so, the carton SKU’s container costs were lowered and floor/storage space was increased. Additionally, SKU's and excess void fill were eliminated by adding scores to one carton. Based on annual usage, the change to a new carton size ultimately resulted in a savings of over $60,000.00 in freight charges.
Throw Away the Box
During a packaging audit, New-Tech discovered one of its customers using a box for its smallest, non-fragile products. Some quick resourcefulness led to huge savings. By using a bubble bag inside of a FedEx envelope, the customer saved not only on materials, but also on labor (no folding and taping boxes) and freight (it is less expensive to ship an envelope than a box). The package is better for the environment and easier for the end user to dispose of.
