What Medical Packaging does

Medical Packaging Inc., LLC (MPI) is a privately held US manufacturer founded in 1971 and headquartered in Flemington, New Jersey, specializing in unit dose pharmaceutical packaging systems. The company designs, manufactures, and sells integrated packaging equipment — including the Auto-Print and Auto-Print Plus oral solid packaging systems (up to 80 packages/minute), Fluidose Series 6 and FD-Pharma liquid cup packaging systems, Auto-Draw oral syringe filling systems, Auto-Wrap syringe labelers, and the Pharmacy Accessory Bagging System (PABS) — alongside its proprietary Windows-based Pak-EDGE UD Barcode Labeling Software that provides a single interface across all MPI hardware with GS1, 2D, linear, and QR barcode support and First Databank drug database integration. All equipment is engineered to operate with MPI-certified consumable materials (SUPERTHERM thermal paper, SUPERCEL film, and SUPERFOIL moisture-barrier foil), creating a locked consumables ecosystem.

MPI generates revenue through four streams: one-time hardware sales (unit dose packaging machines), recurring consumables sales tied to installed equipment, Pak-EDGE software licensing (bundled with new equipment, plus annual First Databank add-on subscriptions), and flexible annual maintenance/service contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales supplemented by heavy participation in pharmacy and pharmaceutical trade shows (ASHP, INTERPHEX, Pack Expo, Contract Pharma), supported by content marketing, SEO, social media, and a website-driven quote-request funnel. The company serves hospital and acute care pharmacies, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), CDMOs, specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmaceutical repackagers, long-term and extended care pharmacies, children's hospitals, retail and independent pharmacies, and dental practices across North America with international reach into Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and emerging markets.
