Pack testing confirms that the pack will fulfill its purpose of protection in the distribution cycle. With the astounding growth of Internet and Catalog sales which require home delivery by a third party, ensuring that the pack will function once it is out of your hands is paramount.

A programme of ISTA testing will give a manufacturer a good guide, quickly and economically to how the pack/product combination will perform in the field. Weaknesses highlighted by controlled tests can be designed out quickly and a retest performed to immediately measure improvement.

Certification by the ISTA demonstrates your packs ability to stand up to the rigors of distribution and your commitment to quality.
