02 / Technical interpretation

Design the pack around material and route risk

Primary container, closure, label, secondary packaging and shipping configuration work as one system. The appropriate solution depends on material sensitivity, presentation, transit route, destination and the evidence required on arrival.

  • Separate product storage requirements from shipping controls.
  • Keep identity and lot traceable through every packaging level.
  • Define excursion review and importer responsibilities in advance.

Questions to resolve before quotation or release

  1. Is the component set standard or project-specific?

  3. Can cap color or vial format change without affecting MOQ?
