Vibration & Compression Testing
Packaging faces significant stress during transportation and storage. To ensure your products arrive intact, we perform rigorous vibration and compression tests that replicate real-world distribution environments. These tests help identify weaknesses before your product reaches the market, reducing damage claims and improving customer satisfaction.
COMPRESSION
Stacking and storage environments can exert heavy loads on packaging. Our compression tests measure the ability of containers to withstand these forces under both static and dynamic conditions.
Key Objectives:
- Top-Load Strength: Assess resistance to vertical stacking in warehouses and trailers.
- Crush Resistance: Validate durability for corrugated and rigid containers.
- Load Performance: Test per recognized standards such as:
- ASTM D642 – Determining Compressive Resistance of Shipping Containers
- Related ISO and ISTA protocols
Benefits:
- Prevents collapse during storage and transit
- Optimizes material usage without compromising strength
- Ensures compliance with retailer and carrier requirements
VIBRATION
During transit—whether by truck, rail, air, or sea—packages are exposed to continuous motion and dynamic forces. Our vibration testing simulates these conditions to evaluate packaging durability and product protection.
Key Objectives:
Resonance & Fatigue Analysis: Detect structural weaknesses caused by repetitive motion.
Loose Component Detection: Identify internal movement that could lead to product damage.
Performance Validation: Ensure compliance with industry standards such as:
- ASTM D999 – Vibration Testing of Shipping Containers
- ASTM D4169 – Performance Testing of Shipping Containers
- ISTA Series – International Safe Transit Association protocols
Benefits:
- Reduces risk of breakage during distribution
- Improves packaging design for cost efficiency
- Enhances customer confidence in product quality
