Package Cost Reduction Strategies Q&A
-
Asked August 12th, 2010
The minimum seal strength of a sterile product is primarily determined through tests of the package that confirm it can withstand the rigors of transportation.
Tests such as drop, shock, vibration, and compression tests are performed according to ASTM standards to prove the package integrity. Beyond that, the minimum seal strength is then a matter of customer preference.
Sometimes a seal that passes all of the testing is perceived as not being sterile by a customer because it is too easy to open. At that time, you would increase that minimum seal strength to an acceptable level were the customer has confidence in the package that you are providing.
