Due to a number of reasons, the main one being my chronic TCS (Time Compression Syndrome, a malady that consistently has victims attempting to shove ten pounds of fertilizer into a five pound bag), this blog has not appeared since about March of last year.  That flaw will be remedied this year with a regular monthly post, maybe more if there is breaking news, which I plan on posting the first week of each month.  There is plenty to write about in the field of terminally sterilized medical device packaging and labeling these days and I hope to hit a few germane topics as we progress through 2011.

One of the things that we worked on last year was an expansion of the small one page handout that many of you picked up at either Healthpack or one of the MDM shows.  Its a neat little retro-looking spiral bound booklet with a bunch of good stuff in it, ranging from design tips to a bunch of label related websites.  If you would like one, either shoot me an email or give me a call at 612.706.9554.

MDM West is coming up in a couple weeks and MDRG, the Medical Device Resource Group, will be hosting a reception at the Hilton Anaheim on February 8th.  Healthpack 2011 is right around the corner as well, rapidly approaching in early March in the Queen City of Cincinnati.  More to follow on both items. 2011 is out of the blocks rapidly and there is a lot of labeling stuff in the hopper. Blog post 2 for 2011 will be out in two weeks.
