1 L.A.B. Equipment, Inc. Fundamentals of Packaging Package Testing Standards

2 Why Test.? Customers Demand it High Return Rate Competitors have an edge by Testing Evaluate Material Suppliers Distribution Modes are changing Product/Package Presentation is more important Expanding your markets globally

3 Why Test.? Ecological demands Recyclable Containers Returnable Containers Material constraints Environmental Challenges Humidity/Temperature

4 You've Decided Testing is Important.Now what?

5 Testing Specifications ASTM: D999, D642, D5277, D4169 ISO.JIS..IEC ISTA TAPPI

6 A Wide Variety of Shock Test Procedures Exist IEC MIL Spec 202 E Method 213B Mil Std 810F ASTM D 3332 Damage Boundary

7 Mil Std 810F This method includes eight test procedures. a. Procedure I - Functional Shock. b. Procedure II Material to be packaged. c. Procedure III Fragility. d. Procedure IV - Transit Drop. e. Procedure V - Crash Hazard. f. Procedure VI - Bench Handling. g. Procedure VII - Rail Impact. h. Procedure VIII - Catapult Launch/Arrested Landing.

8 Selection of the Right Package Testing System Simulate hazards of the distribution environment Reduce packaging costs Optimize packaging design & quality Prevent shipping damages

9 Test Levels Drive Protocol Development Logistic Hazards Hazard Measure Test Spec Package Design

10 A Foundation for Testing PROCEDURES

11 Choosing a Test Approach specific Focused Simulation Package Performance Objectives General Simulation general Integrity little much Distribution Information

12 ISTA Categories of Laboratory Tests Integrity Testing Strength challenge General Simulation Broadly simulative Focused Simulation Links field measurements.

13 Integrity Testing Challenge to the strength and robustness of product and package Example: ISTA Series 1

14 ISTA Procedure 1A Integrity Testing Small packages Vibration and drop Historical standing

15 ISTA Test Procedure 1A Drop Test fixed drop height height determined by weight one sample, 10 drops corner, 3 edges, 6 faces

16 ISTA Test Procedure 1A Vibration Test fixed displacement selected fixed frequency repeated shock (bounce) action rotary or vertical linear motion time for 14,200 impacts

17 Typical ISTA 1A Drop Test Equipment Integrity Testing

18 Typical ISTA 1A Vibration Test Equipment Integrity Testing Field Test Hydraulic Vibration V - Series Transportation Simulators Agree Series Mechanical Vibration

19 Typical ISTA 1A Vibration/Drop Test Equipment Integrity Testing

20 ISTA 1C and 1D Integrity Testing Compression Vibration Shock Incline Impact Systems

21 ISTA 1E Unitized Loads Integrity Testing Incline Impact Systems

22 Steps to Focused Simulation Observation Measurement Analysis Specification Validation

23 More Benefits of Package Testing Decrease your Time to Market Improved Distributor/Customer Satisfaction Reduction in packaging Costs Material/Handling/Labor/Transportation/Returns Increased your volume because your customer increased their market share

24 A Tool for Solutions DBC & Product Fragility Product Testing Difference between Shock and Drop Testing
