Medical Device Decoration A Decision Framework for Regulated Manufacturers
In medical decoration, the regulatory class of the part decides which technology is even allowed in the conversation — before labor economics ever enter it.
Frameworks, lessons, and decision math drawn from forty years of EPS installations.
In medical decoration, the regulatory class of the part decides which technology is even allowed in the conversation — before labor economics ever enter it.
Most industrial manufacturers don’t choose their decoration process. They inherit it.
Deciding between direct offset and inkjet
Buying industrial decoration equipment is a six-to-seven-figure capital decision. The questions you ask the vendor — and the answers you accept — determine whether the cell ships, runs, and earns its return.
A practical evaluation framework for manufacturers weighing analog vs digital decoration. Volume, SKU mix, substrate, automation, and labor — the five dimensions that decide which tier wins.
The seven costly mistakes EPS engineers see manufacturers make when they implement direct-to-object inkjet — and how to avoid each one before commissioning.
When the ink will not bond, the substrate is rarely the problem. The pretreatment is. A practical primer on the four techniques EPS uses to engineer adhesion on polyolefins, glass, metal, and engineering plastics.
