Medical device packaging doesn’t just need to pass sterility and shelf-life validation—it must also survive the rigors of distribution. Transportation testing is critical for proving that your packaging can protect devices from real-world hazards like vibration, drops, compression, and temperature fluctuations. We’ll break down the standard tests used to evaluate packaging performance during transportation, and how they help ensure regulatory compliance.

Life Science Outsourcing (LSO) is excited to announce the release of the updated 2025 edition of our comprehensive white paper, “Medical Device Packaging: Mastery of Design, Sterile Defense, and Compliance.” This revised guide reflects the latest advancements in medical package testing and the growing regulatory landscape surrounding sterile packaging.

Pre-validated packaging solutions are now the go-to option for medical device manufacturers who don’t need custom packing for their product. Benefits include expedited time to market, reduced costs, and sterilization efficiencies. Learn how these standardized packaging options have helped medical device manufacturers have a direct and immediate impact to their bottom line.

What’s the difference between real-time aging and accelerated aging? Is one faster than the other? Uncover how accelerated aging assesses medical device packaging durability in a shorter period of time using simulated environmental factors and the ways ASTM F1980 guides this method with standardized and reliable testing practices.
