In 2015, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (West) announced that two materials of construction of the West STERILIZABLEBAG™ packaging system will change:
Developed in the mid-90’s, the STERILIZABLEBAG™ packaging system is pivotal for West’s Ready-to-Sterilize (RS) and Ready-to-Use (RU) components, including Daikyo components. It is manufactured by sealing two materials:
Through extensive testing, West validated all designs and processes, and demonstrated that the updated STERILIZABLEBAG™ packaging system, comprised of the updated Tyvek 1073B packaging material and an alternative polyethylene film, is functionally equivalent to the current system – ensuring that RS and RU components will continue to have the same quality and sterility assurance – in particular: bioburden, endotoxin, particulate specifications, and release criteria. Moreover, the updated system meets the following:
West understands the criticality of the STERILIZABLEBAG™ packaging system to customers’ operations, and is committed to assisting the transition to the updated system by providing robust and comprehensive technical data packages that may minimize the need for additional testing. Technical data packages and supplemental documentation are available for:

Barriers are very important for drug packaging systems. There are two roles demanded of a barrier. The first is to protect drug products from the environment. This is the primary function of a drug container closure system. The second is to prevent drug products from interacting with the packaging materials themselves. Elastomer closure manufacturers have been working to improve these barriers through multiple technologies. The technologies used on commercial products are traditional coating, and film lamination. Each has pros and cons.
Innovation in manufacturing involves a spectrum of evolution improvements resulting in what West’s partner Daikyo Seiko, Ltd. considers "Absolute Quality." Recent continuous improvement efforts helped Daikyo achieve even higher levels in cleanliness of elastomer products.
