BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENT
Packaging Testing with a clear purpose
Each engagement starts with the required outcome, operating context and evidence of success. The result is a focused Packaging Testing scope with clear responsibilities and handover points.
Sampling
Sampling plans and chain-of-custody from site to laboratory.
Standards-based methods
Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.
Reports you can use
Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.
8 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES
What the service can cover
Select the capabilities that match your Packaging Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.
Seal-Strength Testing
Assess packaging seal strength under specified test conditions. Findings support comparison of sealing settings, packaging materials and supplier samples.
Leakage & Pack-Integrity Investigation
Coordinate appropriate testing of packs associated with leakage concerns. Findings help assess whether further investigation should focus on materials, seals or pack construction.
Puncture-Resistance Testing
Evaluate resistance to puncture using a method appropriate to the packaging. Results support material selection and investigation of recurring packaging damage.
Compression Testing
Assess packaging performance under defined compressive loads. Findings support comparison of cartons or containers against agreed handling and storage requirements.
Drop-Performance Testing
Evaluate finished-pack response to specified drop conditions. Reports document product and packaging damage relevant to the tested configuration.
Food-Contact Migration Testing
Arrange migration testing under conditions appropriate to the intended food, contact temperature and duration. Results remain specific to the assessed material and application.
Packaging Material Property Testing
Measure agreed physical properties of packaging materials. Findings support supplier qualification and assessment of proposed changes to material specifications or pack construction.
Distribution-Damage & Packaging-Change Verification
Investigate damaged packs using targeted tests and suitable comparison samples. Follow-up testing assesses proposed changes under the agreed conditions before wider adoption.
HOW WE WORK
From test question to usable findings
A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.
Scope your requirement- 01
Define the requirement
Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.
- 02
Build the test programme
Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.
- 03
Coordinate testing
Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.
- 04
Report and decide
Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Evidence designed for the next decision
