I'm a beginner, I do my best for the team.
I'll do some humidor wizardry and see if this one can be saved?
Choosing between E-beam and Gamma sterilization depends largely on your product’s density, material sensitivity, and production volume. Both are "Established Category A" methods that use ionizing radiation to destroy microbial DNA
1. E-Beam Sterilization (The "Fast" Method)
Best for high-volume, low-density products where speed and material preservation are critical.

- Pros:
- Extremely fast processing (often seconds per box).
- Higher material compatibility for sensitive polymers like polypropylene.
- Environmentally "cleaner"—no radioactive waste or transport issues.
- Cons:
- Poor penetration: Cannot effectively sterilize dense or bulk-packed items.
- High initial facility cost but potentially lower per-unit cost at scale
