Sometimes, a company will choose one method of sterilization only to realize that another method is more suitable for their needs. In this case, they may need to redesign the package in order to ensure it meets all of the requirements for the new sterilization method.
In some cases, it's possible to switch between sterilization methods without having to redesign the package. However, it’s best to consult with your contract manufacturer or packaging expert if you plan on making any changes.
