CASE STUDY—MEDICAL DEVICE COMPANY
STREAMLINE
AND SIMPLIFY
FOR OPTIMIZED
EFFICIENCY
BACKGROUND
A medical device company, specializing in orthopedics, came
to us with the need to massively reduce the number of design
templates in their production labeling solution. At the time, label
sprawl had grown their labeling assets to about 7,000 unique
design templates.
While consolidation of the number of templates without much
redesign was the primary goal for this project, we discovered
additional opportunities that once implemented, will result in
further reductions and future-proofing of their design process.
PRAGMATYXS’ SOLUTION
Pragmatyxs analyzed the company’s labeling solution, identified
the number of templates associated to different label stock
sizes, and created a strategy to reduce the templates to a
more manageable quantity. Pragmatyxs sample printed each
template, allowing us to view each template as an image and
categorize them based on common requirements and data.
After the sample printing and categorization, we reviewed all
template fields to ensure that once consolidated, print output
would produce all fields and images.
After consolidation, Pragmatyxs built a catalog for the
company’s label design team to reference the new consolidated
templates with ease and efficiency. The solution we provided
better leveraged new features available in their labeling
software solution. In addition, we focused on significantly
improving their template design practices, including process
and procedural improvements. At Pragmatyxs we believe that
the best solutions are comprehensive and encompass people,
processes, data, and technology.
