This report analyzes the US market for medical device packaging in units and in US dollars. Containers discussed include:

trays (thermoformed plastic, aluminum, and paperboard)
reagent, solution, and media bottles, which consist of glass and plastic blood culture and culture media bottles
clamshell packs (hinged and non-hinged packs)
pouches (four-sided seal, three-sided seal, and other pouches)
folding cartons, corrugated, and set-up boxes
reagent and other vials, which include conventional parenteral-like containers (glass and plastic)
bags (single and coextruded film, laminated, and paper)
blister packs (compartment and other packs)
media plates and dishes (microplates and petri dishes)

The study also examines the following packaging accessories:

labels:
- security labels, which include such labels as RFID labels and authentication labels with such features as color shifting inks
- standard labels, which include paper and film types, header labels, and pressure-sensitive, heat shrink (i.e., shrink sleeves and roll-fed shrink labels), and stretch sleeve labels without security features
- package inserts, including adhesive leaflets and multi-page informational sheets
lidding (nonwoven, plastic/foil, and paper)
security components (temperature indictors, RFID tags, tamper-evident seals)
vial and bottle closures (screw-threaded closures, elastomeric and rubber stoppers, and other closures, which include septa and crimp systems)
shipping supplies
- protective packaging inserts (e.g., air pillows, cotton padding, and insulation)
- wrappings
- tapes
shrink wrap and bands
desiccants (silica gel, activated clay, polymers, and other desiccants)

End-use applications include:

diagnostic substances
surgical and medical instruments
surgical appliances and supplies
electromedical and irradiation equipment
dental equipment and supplies
ophthalmic goods
