TESTING SERVICES
Comprehensive Packaging Validation
We pair insulated-packaging expertise with advanced test capabilities to evaluate thermal performance, mechanical durability, and environmental resilience. Design, test, and qualify temperature-sensitive packaging with in-house profiles built on industry standards — ASTM, ISTA, and more, validated as needed with third parties.
From early design work to final qualification, we support end-to-end validation for science, food, pharma, and specialty industrial shipments. Supporting life sciences, pharmaceuticals, food & perishables, and specialty industrial shipments.
ASTM / ISTA Package Testing
Simulate distribution hazards using standard methods for drops, vibration, compression, and temperature exposures. Custom profiles available to mirror your lanes.
Amazon ISTA-6 (SIOC / Overbox)
Programs for large e-commerce channels requiring ISTA-6 protocols. Pre-screening and documentation to streamline external certification.
Environmental / Thermal
Chamber testing for refrigerated, frozen, and controlled room temp. Summer/winter profiles, hold times, and lane-specific stress.
UN / DOT HazMat Packaging
Qualification support for regulated materials and diagnostics. Guidance for documentation and labels, with referrals for final certifications where required.
Materials Testing
Insulation R-value checks, coolant capacity, gel/rigid pack performance, leak/absorbency, liner performance, fit-and-finish inspections.
URAC Compliance Support
Validation and documentation support for shippers serving URAC-accredited pharmacy and specialty pharmacy clients.
The upfront cost of package testing:
A small investment up front prevents far more costly problems downstream.
- Reduces packaging cost and weight
- Ensures regulatory compliance
- Maintains product integrity
- Verifies ideal transport conditions
- Protects your brand from shipping hazards
- Ensures safe delivery to your customers
- Eliminates damaged-product returns
- Prevents unnecessary revenue loss
Our Testing Process
A clear, collaborative path from initial consultation to a validated packaging approach you can confidently present to internal teams, customers, and auditors.
Define Objectives
Align on payload, target temperature range, transit duration, destinations, and any internal or external expectations.
Select Test Methods
Choose appropriate thermal profiles, environmental steps, and mechanical tests that mirror your shipping reality.
Prepare Pack-Out
Confirm packaging configuration and refrigerant plan so test cycles reflect how shipments will actually be packed.
Run Test Cycles
Execute the agreed test plan while temperature and conditions are continuously monitored and recorded.
Review & Next Steps
Receive data summaries, time–temperature curves, and recommendations for packaging or pack-out adjustments.
The outcome
A validated packaging approach — documented, defensible, and ready for internal review, customer requests, or audit.
Equipment & In-House Capabilities
- Environmental chambers for hot/cold profiles (summer / winter)
- Data logging and instrumentation for multi-point payload monitoring
- Drop, vibration, and compression test coordination per chosen standards
