Packaging Durability Tests: Quality in Safe Transportation

Quality Tests in Safe Transportation

Ensuring that products reach their destination undamaged throughout the supply chain is not only a matter of production quality, but also of packaging durability. Packaging durability tests are critical quality control measures that measure the performance of packaging materials and structures against various external influences.

Why is Packaging Durability Important?

Packaging is not just an outer covering; it also acts as a shield that protects the product from factors such as impact, pressure, moisture, temperature, and vibration during transportation, storage, and distribution. Especially in logistics processes, vibrations and environmental changes can cause packaging with insufficient durability to result in product damage.

Main Packaging Durability Tests

1. Drop Test: The packaging is dropped from different heights to assess whether it causes damage to the contents.
2. Compression Test: The packaging is stacked on top of each other to measure how much pressure it can withstand.
3. Vibration Test: The effect of vibrations that may occur during transportation on the packaging is examined.
4. Humidity and Temperature Tests (Climatic Tests): The performance of the packaging under different climatic conditions is tested.
5. Leakage Test: The leak-proof performance of the packaging is measured, especially for products containing liquids.

Which Sectors Require These Tests?

Packaging durability tests are critical in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, cosmetics, and chemicals. In these sectors, it is essential to maintain both the hygiene and physical integrity of products.

How Does the Testing Process Work?

Tests are generally conducted in accordance with international standards such as ISO and ASTM. The results of tests performed in a laboratory environment using specialized equipment are documented to confirm the suitability of products for shipment. This process supports safe and high-quality logistics management for both manufacturers and consumers.
