What is Packaging & Transportation Testing?
Products for export demand special attention to packaging methods and integrity to ensure safe arrival at their destinations. Packaging and transportation testing simulates real-world handling and transit conditions - vibration, drops, impact, compression and climate - to verify that your packaging protects your goods effectively. We test according to ISTA, ASTM D4169 and GB/T4857 standards.
- ISTA & ASTM accredited packaging laboratory
- Vibration, drop, impact & compression testing
- Packaging material - strength, moisture & toxic elements
- Real-world transport simulation for your products
About ISTA & ASTM
ISTA
The International Safe Transit Association develops the industry standards that define and measure how packages should perform to fully protect their contents during handling and transit.
ASTM
ASTM packaging standards evaluate the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of pulp, paper and paperboard used to make containers, shipping boxes and labeling products.
Packaging Transportation Tests
We test packaging in a real-world transport environment to assess both materials and design, ensuring your goods are secure throughout transit.
ISTA Transport Tests
ISTA 1A-3F, 4AB, Amazon SIOC, FedEx and Sam's Club protocols.
Vibration Testing
Simulate transport vibration and resonance to protect contents.
Drop & Impact Testing
Free-fall drop and incline impact tests for handling safety.
Compression Testing
Stacking and warehouse compression strength of shipping cartons.
Atmospheric Conditioning
Temperature and humidity pre-conditioning before testing.
Clamping & Handling
Clamping force and handling tests for packaged pieces.
Packaging Material Tests
We test packaging materials to EU Directive 94/62/EC, TAPPI and GB standards for compliance and quality.
Edgewise Compressive Strength
Corrugated board edge compression strength.
Tearing & Bursting Strength
Tearing resistance and bursting strength of board.
Moisture Content
Cardboard moisture and humidity performance.
Thickness & Basis Weight
Material thickness, basis weight and grammage.
Toxic Elements
Heavy metal content per EU packaging directive.
Paper & Board Properties
Physical and mechanical properties per TAPPI & GB.
