From loose glass to a finished packaging unit: many small, precise manual steps.
At the Wendelstein workshops, various products for MV-Versand are assembled and prepared for shipping. This primarily includes items where care, accuracy, and reliable counting are important – exactly the things that are no longer visible on the finished product later on.
Regularly processed items include, among others, flat-bottomed jars in packaging units of 10, 30, or 100 pieces, each with the matching lids. Parchment sachets or glassine bags, as well as apothecary bottles with closures, are also prepared there.
The individual work steps are clearly structured. Jars and lids are counted using counting boards, placed in bubble wrap bags, and sealed. Boxes are folded, thank-you cards are enclosed, products are inserted, packaging is taped, and product labels are applied. The parchment sachets are also counted, sorted, and packed: the small bags are placed in zip-lock bags, sealed, and then prepared for shipment. What ultimately appears in the shop as a finished packaging unit is therefore the result of many small, precise manual steps.
Why is this so important? Because with small jars, lids, bottles, and sachets, accuracy makes all the difference. Anyone ordering a packaging unit naturally expects the correct quantity. Anyone ordering glass products expects safe, break-proof packaging. And anyone who buys regularly for a medical practice, pharmacy, laboratory, household, or homeopathic needs wants to be able to rely on consistent quality.
Many of these tasks cannot simply be replaced by machines. They require people who look closely, count along, check, and think for themselves. Especially where the final touch counts, this is the decisive value. For MV-Versand, this diligence is an integral part of our quality standards – and that is precisely why the work of the Wendelstein workshops is so valuable to us.
The next part will be about what goes beyond the work itself: about humanity, closeness, and the little moments that define this cooperation.
