Employees are adapting to work from home policies. People are adding facemasks to their wardrobe. Companies are changing the way they do business. There’s a lot that’s changed. For companies who manufacture and package medical supplies — we applaud you. These last six months have pushed you to adapt and accelerate production, helping millions of Americans stay safe.  But the pandemic isn’t over yet. Hospitals across the U.S. are still struggling to keep people on the front lines safe. And, the need for PPE and COVID-19 medical supplies still remains a necessity. Together, manufacturers and equipment providers can create more of these products. One of the first steps to doing this is to automate the packaging of PPE and medical products. #### Boxes and Cartons for Automated PPE Packaging - Facemasks - Hand sanitizer - Gloves - Eye Protection/Gloves #### [COVID-19 Products for Automated Medical Packaging & PPE](https://multifeeder.com/friction-feeder-and-labeler-machines-covid-19/) - Test Strips (Automate packaging & batch counts) - Test Kit Boxes and Cartons (Automate serialization & place UDIs) - Disposable Thermometers (Automate packaging & batch counts) - Manuals & Instructions This blog is for those who already manufacture COVID-19 supplies, and those who want to start. If this sounds like something you’re interested, we’ve identified a few ways to help you jump in head first. If you’re already producing COVID PPE or supplies but need increased output, these apply to you as well. --- ## Test your COVID-19 Product #### Have a COVID-19 product that you'd like us to test on our machines?  [![Get a Video Demo of Your Product](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7931115/17eac5a5-1194-44d5-8eca-e402367b5301.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7931115/17eac5a5-1194-44d5-8eca-e402367b5301) [Micah Collins](https://blog.mftautomation.com/blog/author/micah-collins) [Read More](https://blog.mftautomation.com/blog/how-to-expedite-your-ppe-medical-packaging) ![](https://i2.wp.com/multifeeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Cannabis-Concentrate-Container.png?resize=515%2C270&ssl=1) [Labelers,](https://blog.mftautomation.com/blog/tag/labelers) [Labeling](https://blog.mftautomation.com/blog/tag/labeling) ### [5 Things You Need For Successful Cannabis Labeling in 2021](https://blog.mftautomation.com/blog/5-things-you-need-for-successful-cannabis-labeling-in-2021) The cannabis industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that has no intention of slowing down.
