Making Better Packaging Decisions, Faster – Presented by FreeThink Technologies

Agenda:

• Accelerated stability testing and predictive modeling using the accelerated stability assessment program (ASAP) for rapid product shelf life determination
• Selecting appropriate moisture barriers for primary packaging of solid products
• Interplay of packaging with product and desiccant moisture sorption properties
• Cost optimization balancing moisture protection, climate zone distribution and batch size for product and packaging
