A sterilization pouch comprising:

• a perimeter;
• a first end;
• a second end;
• a length extending from the first end to the second end, the length having a major portion;
• a first side;
• a second side;
• a width extending from the first side to the second side, the width having a major portion;
• a first layer having a top exterior facing surface and a bottom interior facing surface;
• a second layer bonded to the first layer along a portion of the perimeter so as to define a pouch having an opening and an interior space for receiving an article therein, the second layer having a top interior surface and a bottom exterior surface;
• a first interior sterilization indicator that changes from a first color state to a second color state when exposed to a first sterilization condition, the first interior sterilization indicator
• being disposed between the first layer and the second layer,
• extending along the major portion of the length of the pouch and
• extending along the major portion of the width of the pouch, and being visible through the first layer;
• a second interior sterilization indicator that changes from a first color state to a second color state when exposed to a second sterilization condition,
• the first and second interior sterilization indicators defining an arcuate pattern near the second end of the pouch;
