Once the previous stages have been completed, it is necessary to consider how the resulting capsules will be handled (packaging, transport, processing on the customer's site) and formulated into the final product. These aspects impose new constraints of which we need to be aware. Given the diversity of situations that can arise at this stage, only the most important points are mentioned here.
