Sean shares a practical, startup-friendly roadmap anchored in ISO 11607, starting with defining device inputs that drive packaging design decisions (sensitivities, geometry, sterilization method, scalability). He then walks through the four pillars—Make, Ship, Store, and Usability—covering sealing process validation, distribution simulation testing and feasibility testing, shelf-life strategy via accelerated and real-time aging, and the newer focus on usability and aseptic presentation. The episode highlights how missed packaging steps can create costly timeline and commercialization setbacks.
