Systems and methods of aseptic processing of product can include a hopper for introduction of the product into the system and one or more components through which the product flows as it is processed through the system, an enclosure surrounding one more of the components, a gassing assembly comprising a plurality of gassing elements for maintaining a substantially constant flow of inert gas over the product as it travels through the components of the system, and filtered gas recirculation system that recirculates filtered air or gas through the enclosure. Such systems can be particularly advantageous for use in the cannabis industry.

Disclosed herein is a method for allowing forming & sealing films to be embossed/debossed with various shapes such as geometric, organic, or fractal and/or combination and various dimensions and depths. The texture or pattern is transferred to the film from an insert. The pattern on the forming & sealing film is then transferred onto the surface of the various proteins including but not limited to chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and plant proteins during the form-fill-seal and cook process. The forming and/or sealing inserts can form various thermoforming films with functional and/or decorative embossing and/or debossing without the use of knitted, elastic, extruded, tightly weaved, plastic netting, and/or compression forming molds and/or release agents for netting removal. Since the forming inserts are constructed using additive manufacturing processes, almost any design can be embossed/debossed onto the forming & sealing film.

An example technique of forming a package includes retaining a package precursor in a support. The package precursor includes a shrink-formable composition and defines an interior volume configured to enclose a component, such as a medical supply. The package may be formed by at least directing a flow of heated medium from a nozzle toward at least one region of the package precursor to cause the at least one region to shrink faster than an adjacent region of the package precursor. In some examples, an example system for shrink-forming a package includes the support and the nozzle.

In some examples, a package includes a package body enclosing a medical supply. The package body defines a window. The package includes a breathable membrane adjacent the package body and extending across the window. The package includes a moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the package body and extending across the breathable membrane. The package includes an adhesive layer configured to hold the moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the breathable membrane. In some examples, a technique includes sterilizing a package precursor including the package body and the breathable membrane, and after the sterilizing, adhering the moisture oxygen scavenger to the package body to form the package.

A method for manufacturing a packaging with an intraocular lens enclosed therein includes insertion of the intraocular lens into a packaging, comprising a first packaging material which is gas-tight in a first sub-section, and a second packaging material which is permeable to gases in a second sub-section, first sealing of the packaging so that the intraocular lens is enclosed in the interior space of the packaging, the interior space being partially delimited by the first sub-section and the second sub-section, sterilization of the interior space of the packaging by exposing the packaging to a gas so that the gas can penetrate through the second sub-section into the interior space of the packaging, second sealing of the packaging by sealing off a volume of the gas-tight first sub-section of the packaging with the intraocular lens enclosed therein from the volume of the second sub-section.
