News from Origin Packaging | March 2023

Welcome to our brand new monthly newsletter, this month we're reporting new tooling developments in NPD, and the importance of strong relationships with suppliers.

Update from our NPD department

Recently we saw the introduction of a new asset to our cleanroom production facility in the form of a 120T, all-electric IBM moulding machine. This machine offers greater cavitation and increased processing controls, keeping Origin’s capacity ahead of total demand (for the time being at least)! Our commitment to investment in the latest technology continues, enabling us to support the increasing number of clients who are moving their production back to British mainland to ensure consistent supply and exceptional quality.

Production of infusion products commenced following a successful Drug Master File registration with the FDA. These products will be packed ultra-clean and presented to our client in RTF condition with a full suite of technical documentation. The project will be used to demonstrate Origin’s DiD process, taking a client brief, designing and validating a product, developing IPC’s and supporting processes, and delivering against specific test criteria (all within a period of 3 months).

Origin are grateful to our independent laboratory partners Aimplas for their agility which supports our dynamism!

A view on supplier relationships

When it comes to business, there are a lot of different moving parts. You have to keep an eye on your competition, your sales, your marketing, and your bottom line. But one thing that is often overlooked is the importance of strategic supplier relationships.

The right supplier can be the difference between a successful product launch and a complete flop. They can help you get the best materials at the best price, and they can even offer advice and support that can make your product better.

At Origin, we believe that our suppliers are integral part of our business, we do not believe in transactional relationships, we embrace true partnerships!

We have implemented a Strategic Supplier Development Program to ensure continuous pursuit of quality, sustainability, ethical conduct, and supply chain efficiencies.

Origin acknowledges that a successful supplier relationship requires hard work and dedication on both sides. To build a strong partnership, businesses must concentrate on establishing trust, communication, and respect. A solid foundation will ensure that all aspects of the supply chain run smoothly, allowing companies to focus on their core business objectives.

One key element to cultivating a healthy supplier relationship is staying organized. Regular communication and visits between both parties are essential for keeping expectations clear and preventing misunderstandings from developing into conflicts.
