Frequently Asked Questions

Our packaging materials are designed to be compatible with all major sterilization methods including Ethylene Oxide (EtO), Gamma radiation, E-beam, Steam, and Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Plasma (HPGP). We provide complete sterilization compatibility documentation and validation support for each material specification.
We ensure compliance through adherence to ASTM F1929 and ISO 11607 standards for sterile barrier systems. Our quality systems are ISO 13485:2016 certified, and we provide comprehensive documentation support for FDA 510(k) submissions and European MDR requirements. All packaging designs undergo rigorous validation testing including package integrity, microbial barrier effectiveness, and shelf-life studies.
Development timelines vary based on complexity, but typically range from 4-12 weeks for custom packaging solutions. This includes initial design consultation, material selection, prototype development, validation testing, and final approval. For urgent projects or simple modifications to existing designs, we can often accelerate timelines significantly.
Yes, we specialize in small-batch custom manufacturing for R&D and clinical trial applications. Our flexible production capabilities allow us to manufacture quantities as small as 100 units while maintaining the same quality standards as high-volume production. This enables cost-effective validation of packaging designs before commercial scale-up.
We provide comprehensive testing including package integrity testing, seal strength and peel force optimization, microbial barrier effectiveness validation, environmental stress testing, accelerated aging studies, and distribution simulation. All testing follows established industry standards and can be customized to meet specific regulatory requirements for your target markets.
Yes, we provide complete packaging solutions including primary and secondary packaging integration, labeling and serialization capabilities, kit assembly for combination products, and supply chain optimization. Our value-added services extend to vendor management and just-in-time delivery programs to streamline your entire packaging supply chain.
