Benefits of package drop testing
Our innDrop testing equipment is engineered to meet various standards and protocols, including EN 15552, ASTM D4169, ASTM D7386, numerous ISTA procedures, and MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD 202.
Enhanced Product Protection: The most significant benefit of using our Drop Tester is the assurance of product safety. It ensures that your packaging is robust enough to withstand impacts during handling and transportation, greatly minimizing the risk of product damage.
Cost-Effective Solutions: Our Drop Tester helps in preventing product damages, thus enabling companies to reduce costs associated with returns, replacements, and waste. Investing in well-designed and tested packaging might seem more expensive initially, but with our machine, it results in substantial savings over time.
Enhanced Customer Trust: Ensuring that your product reaches customers in perfect condition is crucial, especially for fragile or high-value items. Our Drop Tester improves customer satisfaction and trust by consistently delivering products in impeccable condition.
Compliance with Industry Standards: Our drop equipment is designed to comply with a range of standards and procedures, such as EN 15552, ASTM D4169, ASTM D7386, various ISTA procedures, and MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD 202, ensuring broad applicability across industries.
Optimized Packaging Design: Our Drop Tester provides invaluable insights for packaging design, enabling designers to tailor the size, materials, and shape of the packaging for optimal protection while minimizing costs and waste.
Boosted Brand Reputation: A brand that consistently delivers products in excellent condition, thanks to our Drop Tester, builds a positive reputation. This not only gives you a competitive edge but also fosters customer loyalty.
Drop testing is essential for evaluating a package's resilience against impacts encountered during distribution.
Test methods
A drop testing apparatus is designed to simulate freefall and sudden impact scenarios, varying in heights and angles. The methodology for conducting drop tests is contingent upon the specific test standard or regulation adhered to by your business.
Various organizations, such as ISTA, ASTM, ISO, FedEx, and the US Department of Transportation, outline drop testing protocols.
These generally include specifications on:
- drop height,
- Specimen orientation
- The number of drops.
Our drop testers are engineered to surpass industry standards, with each unit undergoing rigorous factory testing to ensure compliance with stringent ‘flatness of drop’ criteria.
