Secure Clinical Test Kit Packages

As at-home testing grows in popularity, regulation-compliant packaging is more important than ever. From COVID test boxes to DNA test packaging, we’ve designed, produced, and shipped innovative and secure clinical test kit packaging solutions. Developing safe and clever packaging is an essential step in our design process.

Like every project, we collaborate with your team to understand your product and packaging requirements. Most at-home test kits have strict guidelines, so we incorporate them right from the start. Each guideline is a new design challenge. Throughout the design and manufacturing process, we make slight adjustments to account for sustainability, cost savings, and the customer experience.

An Intuitive Unboxing Experience

When designing a package for at-home health test kits, we consider every user. The experience should be straightforward and accessible. This begins with the structural design and continues with directions, illustrations, and graphics. Our designers know the intricacies of the medical industry, always striving to find a balance with regulations and presentation. In addition to our packaging designers, we have full-time technical writers, graphic designers, and illustrators.

We use a variety of materials to produce flexible medical test packaging. Some regulations require a specific material, or your brand style guide may limit the material choices. Regardless of constraints, we can work with your team to choose the best options from our extensive material library. We offer every paper-based product, medical-grade plastic, molded pulps, as well as cutting-edge sustainable materials.

Your Brand at the Center

With powerful branding and concise instructions, customers will appreciate their at-home test kit experience. Unfortunately, in a rush to get their products to a crowded market, companies often overlook the packaging experience. They forget that the customer is the core of their business, especially in an industry handling sensitive health and data.

Our designers work closely with our material and manufacturing experts to integrate your brand values, mission, and vision. We work with you every step of the way, collaborating on the most effective ways to communicate and share your brand story. When packaging elevates the product and brand, the company is doing its best to meet customer needs.

Alcohol & Drug Test Kit Packaging

Patients and customers use testing kits in a variety of settings, from hospitals and clinics to athletic facilities and even their own homes. We create alcohol and drug test kit packaging designed for any situation.

As testing technology continues to improve, customers can complete their alcohol and drug testing kits at home. We help companies design their test kit packaging as well as their overall testing procedures, which may include illustrations, technical writing, and regulatory compliance. If brands don’t have an in-house team for medical packaging design, we can take the lead in redesigning every moment in the customer journey.

Blood Test Kit Packaging Solutions

Point of care devices allow patients to provide blood samples on the go, at home, or in the hospital. Using the specially designed diagnostic tools, medical professionals and patients collect small blood samples and then send them to the lab.

We worked with Recovery Trek to design a blood test kit package for their program participants. Our goal was to create a simple and efficient participant experience without unnecessary steps or materials. The resulting box has a built-in phone stand, directions printed on the inside, and convenient return packaging.

DNA Test Packages

Most DNA testing companies only need a small vial of saliva to analyze your genetic makeup. For proper handling and smooth delivery, DNA test packages must have sterile collection devices, clear instructions, and easy-to-use return packaging.

We’ve worked with some of the foremost DNA testing companies to develop not only outer packaging, but also interior packaging and instructions. As new saliva collection devices come to market, we assist medical device companies write and illustrate collection instructions. We then integrate them into innovative packaging designs for a succinct and confusion-free customer experience.

At-home COVID Test Boxes

COVID-19 testing is now routine for many people throughout the world. In the United States alone, each day around 1.5 million people take an at-home test. Organizations and businesses rely on COVID test boxes to keep their employees healthy, and individuals can take a quick test for peace of mind.

Even though we’re all familiar with the testing process, well-written instructions, proper disclaimers, and accurate diagnostic instruments are essential components in every COVID testing kit package. At Zenpack, we can provide each of these components to deliver the best testing experience possible.

Test Kit Packaging Case Study

Recovery Trek is a substance abuse monitoring provider that helps customers stay focused on their recovery goals. Using their Success Management Software, they work with case managers to track participant treatment programs. At-home testing kits are integral to their system, allowing participants to achieve success and stay on course in a comfortable space.

In collaboration with the Recovery Trek team, we developed a sustainable packaging solution for their new test kit program. We printed unique sleeves for each kit, helping Recovery Trek save time and money with a uniform box structure across the family of packages. We simplified the testing procedure down to its most basic steps, printing instructions directly to the lid interior. The package also folds down to reveal an integrated cell phone stand for viewing additional instructional videos.
