I do not have experience with packaging but have heard from John Crombie the details associated with the packing. Early evaluation of product-packaging compatibility helps to detect design of manufacturing problems. In the worst case scenario that the packing does not meet certain specifications, the early evaluation will help. Basically, packaging design should be started early. Size of the packaging is the next factor to look over. From reading different resources common factors associated with size are friction, pressure, and transportation. All of these sub-factors are considered when developing packaging. Another factor is having a detailed packaging protocol. Concerns with packaging have to be addressed as soon as the project starts.This should be a prerequisite before the device goes into manufacturing because contingencies plans can be made.
