Packaging, Paper & Pads
Packaging, Paper and Pads
Packaging, paper and pads are critical components in the safe manufacturing, handling and delivery of an extensive range of medical products. These materials perform various functions that enhance product safety and dependability, from cushioning and protecting devices to maintaining sterility for bandages and wearables.
At Advantage Converting, we have decades of experience and technical expertise in developing innovative solutions that meet strict standards in the medical industry. We maintain a clean room environment that adheres to ISO 13485 certification for all necessary procedures and use cutting-edge materials to create products that help deliver reliable and effective patient care.
The Importance of Packaging, Paper and Pads in Medical Manufacturing
Packaging, paper and pads serve distinct purposes in medical manufacturing by ensuring product safety and sustaining device performance. Absorbent paper layers in wound dressings help manage moisture, while specialized packaging materials protect syringes and surgical tools from exposure or contamination. In addition, custom-designed pads and inserts minimize impact and stabilize sensitive devices during transport.
Each application demands precision, as even minor inconsistencies or inaccuracies can compromise product performance and patient safety. Several primary applications include:
- Sterile surgical drapes
- Wound dressings
- Diagnostic test strips
- Medical device packaging
- Specimen collection kits
- Laboratory consumables

FAQs
Q: When do I need a clean room?
Clean room manufacturing is primarily used when manufacturing sensitive materials that can be easily contaminated or affected by particles in the air. For example, at Advantage Converting, we have used our clean rooms to manufacture advanced wound care products, solar panel components, and vibration dampeners for the aerospace industry. However, a clean room can be used for any converted good. Our experts can work with you to determine clean room requirements for your project.
Q: What manufacturing processes does Advantage Converting perform in their clean rooms?
We can perform any manufacturing process in our clean rooms, including custom die cutting, laminating, slitting and rewinding, and roll-to-roll manufacturing.
Q: What is clean room manufacturing?
Clean room manufacturing is the use of an enclosed area with strict environmental controls to manufacture sensitive components. The controlled environment – or clean room – limits the presence of dust, airborne microbes, aerosol, and chemical vapors to prevent environmental contamination of sensitive components, such as those for medical, electronic, and aerospace applications.
Advantage Converting has multiple clean rooms that are available for all converted goods. Our clean rooms are certified as ISO 8 / Class 100,000 and ISO 7 / Class 10,000.
