The Challenge: The Journey is Your Product's Final Test
Your product’s journey from your warehouse to your customer is the most perilous part of its lifecycle. It’s exposed to a constant barrage of drops, vibrations, compressions, and atmospheric changes. A packaging failure at this stage doesn’t just result in a single broken item; it leads to costly returns, negative customer reviews, and a damaged brand reputation. ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) testing is the global standard for ensuring your packaging is up to the challenge.
A Full Suite of ISTA Testing Services
As an ISTA Certified Lab, we are equipped to perform tests across the entire spectrum of ISTA standards. We help you select the right series for your specific product and distribution path.
- Non-Simulation Integrity Tests (ISTA 1 Series): The most straightforward series to screen a packaging system for its basic strength and robustness.
- Partial Simulation Performance Tests (ISTA 2 Series): A more advanced series that combines basic integrity tests with at least one element of the more rigorous ISTA 3 Series simulation tests.
- General Simulation Performance Tests (ISTA 3 Series): A comprehensive series designed to simulate a broad range of motions, forces, and conditions that a package may encounter during transit.
- Enhanced Simulation & Focused Tests (ISTA 4, 6, 7 Series): We provide a full range of specialized testing, including ISTA 6-Amazon.com, 6-FedEx, and other member-specific protocols, as well as testing for temperature-controlled packaging (ISTA 7D).
