Welcome to the Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee (MDPTC) site page! We're in the 4th quarter of the year, and some of us are calculating how to use up our FSA balances! The MDPTC Board has been working with our program leaders and industry partners to bring more value to the organization's goals.  Each quarter, we'll bring you highlights of events and key updates on programs, all of which promote medical device packaging education and professional networking. 

Did you know?  

• MDPTC wins the IoPP Technical Committee of the Year! Congratulations to our membership - your engagement and leadership in the industry counts!
