Our labs are maintained at TAPPI conditions and are ISTA certified.
Tour Our Labs
Materials Testing Lab
The Materials Testing Lab is maintained at TAPPI test conditions. Here, we are capable of performing a variety of key tests on liners, mediums and combined boards, and are able to predict structural integrity and board optimization through extensive testing protocols and proprietary packaging strength software.
Transportation Testing Lab
The Transportation Testing Lab is where we put your packaging through the gauntlet – simulating different types of supply chain events to make sure our packaging holds up. This laboratory is maintained at TAPPI test conditions and has the capability to simulate all the forces encountered by either individual packages or full pallets of product during handling, transportation and warehousing. Our lab is ISTA certified to conduct a variety of ISTA and ASTM testing, as well as other transportation testing protocols. Also, as a member of Amazon’s APASS network we can certify packaging to the Amazon standards.
Environmental Chambers
Our environmental chambers expose packaging to real life environmental conditions with three different walk-in chamber environments. They provide the ability to simulate freezing to high temperatures, low to high humidity, and everything in between. We can handle everything from small samples to multiple pallets of product.
