Product Packaging Testing
Simulating real-world transport conditions such as drops, vibrations, compression, temperature, and humidity fluctuations, packaging testing verifies the strength and durability of packaging designs. Proper packaging testing testing not only prevents costly product losses but also optimizes packaging materials for sustainability and efficiency.
