Applied Technical Services offers ASTM packaging testing services that help clients ensure the quality and compliance of their packaging systems. Product packaging is critical to protecting products from environmental factors and hazards throughout the distribution cycle. Whether a product is being shipped by land, sea, or air, its packaging system must be an effective shield against damage. Our environmental testing lab conducts ASTM packaging testing to simulate real-world distribution conditions and verify that your packaging can protect its contents during transport and storage.
What is Package Testing?
Packaging testing evaluates how well containers withstand the hazards of storage and transportation. This process includes many tests designed to find weaknesses in package design. Ineffective packages will not reliably protect their contents from contamination, debris, and other substances. Package testing lets distributors adjust designs to improve effectiveness. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) sets standards that define procedures and conditions for testing packaging effectiveness.
Our ASTM-compliant packaging testing services
Our advanced environmental testing lab performs a wide array of tests that adhere to critical ASTM packaging standards such as:
- ASTM D3078 (Bubble emission leak testing)
- ASTM D4332 (Field condition simulations)
- ASTM D4169 (Performance testing)
- ASTM D6653 (High altitude testing)
Our services evaluate packaging quality and performance by simulating real-world environmental factors. We also simulate the shipping and handling conditions packages face in the distribution cycle. We help clients verify packaging designs by testing durability, finding weaknesses, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Our controlled procedures and calibrated equipment provide consistent, repeatable results. Expert evaluations support confident decision-making and improve packaging reliability.
The Benefits of ASTM Compliance
ASTM packaging standards help protect manufacturers, distributors, and consumers from the stress and expenses associated with damaged products. In many countries, businesses must comply with ASTM packaging standards to ensure the safe transport of goods under various conditions. The standards also help businesses minimize the resources they allocate to shipping claims, while helping establish trust with consumers who expect to receive properly packaged products. Our packaging testing services help our clients do the following:
- Ensure compliance with industry standards
- Reduce the likelihood of damaged products
- Minimize damage claims and returns
- Improve package design and quality
