Climatic conditioning of packaging, containers and packaging components ASTM D4332

Targeted simulation of climatic influences to which packaging, containers or packaging components may be exposed during storage, transportation and distribution. The test sample is stored in a climate chamber under defined temperature and humidity conditions for a specified period of time in order to simulate real environmental conditions such as cold, heat, high humidity or dryness. The aim is to realistically evaluate the effects of these influences on the material and protective function of the packaging and to create a reliable starting point for all subsequent stress tests.

Climatic pre-treatment ASTM D4169

Conditioning of the packaging under defined temperature and humidity conditions before the stress tests. In this way, possible changes in the packaging properties due to climatic influences are realistically taken into account and the starting point for the subsequent tests is created.

Climatic pre-treatment of packages ready for shipment DIN EN ISO 2233

As part of this test, the completely filled packaging is specifically exposed to defined temperature and humidity conditions before subsequent stress tests. The test sample is placed in a climate chamber and conditioned for a defined period of time under atmospheric conditions that correspond to real transportation and storage environments. This ensures that possible changes to the packaging properties due to climatic influences, such as moisture absorption or material embrittlement, are realistically taken into account.

Compression test (static and dynamic) ASTM D4169

Testing the stacking load capacity of shipping containers under static and dynamic pressure. The test sample is loaded with a specified force to assess the stability during stacking in the warehouse or during transportation and to ensure that the contents remain protected from deformation or damage.

Concentrated impact and puncture test - punctual load and puncture resistance ASTM D7386

Testing the resistance of the packaging to punctual loads and puncture stresses. A defined force is applied to a small area of the package in order to evaluate the protective function in the event of localized impacts.

Concentrated impact test ASTM D4169

Testing the resistance of the packaging to punctual loads and sudden impacts. A defined force is applied to a small area of the shipping container in order to evaluate the protective function in the event of localized impacts.

Conditioning - Climatic pre-treatment for shipping packages ASTM D7386

Conditioning of the packaging and contents in a climate chamber under defined temperature and humidity conditions. The aim is to realistically consider the effects of climatic influences on the material and the protective effect of the packaging before the actual load test.

Drop and impact test - simulation of handling loads in parcel shipping ASTM D7386

The test sample is dropped from specified heights onto various surfaces to simulate typical drop and impact loads in parcel shipping. This evaluates the ability of the packaging to reliably protect the contents even when handled improperly.

Extended integrity test for individual packages over 68 kg ISTA 1D

Test for individually packaged products weighing over 68 kg, in which the test sample is first preconditioned under defined laboratory conditions. This is followed by a compression test to assess the stacking and pressure resistance, a vibration test (either with fixed or random vibration) and various impact tests, including drop test, tilt impact, horizontal impact and rotational edge drop. The aim is to comprehensively assess the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the packaging under realistic conditions

Extended integrity test for individual packages up to 68 kg ISTA 1C

Extended test for individually packaged products up to 68 kg. In addition to preconditioning, vibration and impact tests, a compression test is also carried out to assess the stackability and pressure resistance of the packaging.

General simulation test for groupage shipments (LTL) ISTA 3B

Test for individually packaged products that are transported by truck in groupage shipments, often together with other shipments. The tests include climatic preconditioning, compression, randomized vibration tests, various drop and impact tests as well as optional tests for special packaging shapes. The aim is to objectively assess the resistance of the packaging to the diverse loads in mixed goods transport and to minimize transport damage.

General simulation test for individually packaged products ISTA 3A

Test for the practical evaluation of the protective effect of individually packaged products weighing up to 70 kg, as they are typically transported in parcels. The test sample is first climatically preconditioned and then subjected to atmospheric conditioning. This is followed by a series of drop tests, compression tests and randomized vibration tests - in some cases with and without a load and optionally under low air pressure to simulate air transport. A leak test is also provided for liquid products. The aim is to realistically assess the resilience of the packaging to typical transport and handling risks and to identify weak points at an early stage.

General simulation test for mixed pallets ISTA 3F

Testing for mixed pallet loads where different products and packaging are transported together on one pallet. The tests include climatic preconditioning, compression, randomized vibration tests and impact tests to evaluate the stability and integrity of the entire load unit under real transport conditions.

General simulation test for palletized load units in full truckload transport ISTA 3E

Test for products that are transported as palletized load units in full truckload transport. After climatic preconditioning, compression tests, randomized vibration tests and various impact tests are performed to evaluate the stability and protective effect of the packaging during transport on the pallet. The protocol is specifically tailored to the challenges of bundled transportation

General simulation test for retail and multi-channel supply chains ISTA 3K

Test for products transported via different retail and distribution channels. Climatic preconditioning is followed by compression, randomized vibration testing and impact testing to evaluate packaging performance in complex, multi-channel supply chains and ensure product safety all the way to the end customer.

Handling and drop test ASTM D4169

Test to simulate typical impacts and drops during manual or mechanical handling. The shipping container is dropped from defined heights onto various surfaces in order to evaluate the impact resistance and protection of the contents in realistic handling situations.

Integrity test for single packages up to 68 kg ISTA 1A

Test to assess the robustness and load-bearing capacity of individually packaged products weighing up to 68 kg. The test sample is preconditioned under laboratory conditions and then subjected to fixed vibration tests and an impact test (e.g. drop test, tilt or horizontal impact). The aim is to detect weak points in the packaging design at an early stage and to assess general transportation safety.

Integrity test with random vibration for individual packages up to 68 kg ISTA 1G

Test for individually packaged products up to 68 kg with a focus on realistic, random vibration loads. After preconditioning, the test sample is subjected to random vibration and an impact test to evaluate the protective effect of the packaging under dynamic transportation conditions.

Integrity test with random vibration for single packages over 68 kg ISTA 1H

Test for individually packaged products weighing over 68 kg, in which the test sample is first preconditioned under defined laboratory conditions. This is followed by a vibration test with random, realistic vibration, followed by various impact tests such as drop test, tilt impact, horizontal impact and rotational edge drop. The aim is to comprehensively evaluate the resilience and protective effect of the packaging under demanding and dynamic transportation conditions.

Test to evaluate packaging performance under conditions of low air pressure, as may occur during air transportation. The test sample is tested in a pressure chamber to simulate the effects of pressure differences on the packaging and contents.

Partial simulation test for furniture packaging ISTA 2C

Test to assess the transportation strength of furniture packaging, regardless of weight. After preconditioning, the test samples are subjected to compression tests, vibration tests (fixed or random vibration) and specific impact loads such as drop test, inclined impact and horizontal impact.
