Package Testing

One of the keys to a successful product is developing the appropriate transport packaging—determining the degree of protection needed to securely and safely transport the product from source to customer.

Appropriate packaging is the best way to avert shipping failures, and the resulting losses in inventory and profit. Stork Materials Technology is a full-service test laboratory dedicated to finding the best package for your product—wherever it needs to go.

Stork experts provide the following package testing and package integrity testing services:

  • Transportation simulations to ASTM D-4169, ISTA projects 1 through 3, 49 Code of Federal Regulations (Department of Transportation) and military standards.
  • Vibration, drop, incline impact.
  • Conformance to the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) , Class 1000.
  • Testing fixture design and fabrication on-site.
  • Walk-in size environmental chambers available for preconditioning of test items.

A package endures a broad range of physical conditions. We can simulate and evaluate your package’s response to: vibration, shock, compression, climatic conditions such as: high temperature, low temperature, humidity, altitude, and many more.

Using specialized testing equipment and highly trained technical staff, we subject packages like yours to a wide variety of tests that replicate shipping conditions in national and international settings. We frequently develop custom testing programs for specialized packages, and we can simulate almost any hazards a package may encounter while passing through a specialized distribution system.

Let Stork help you reach the goal of every successful business: your product properly and efficiently packaged, and arriving damage-free to satisfied customers. We can make it happen.
