Packaging testing enables companies to get a much better understanding about how their shipped goods will react to different shipping conditions during transit.
Shipping conditions as well as product handling during transit vary tremendously. Shipping goods by air, truck, ship or train presents numerous opportunities for products to be damaged not only by atmospheric conditions but also by physical handling of the products.
Atmospheric challenges include:
Changes in atmospheric pressures
Changes in temperature
Changes in humidity
Presence of salt or freshwater in the air
Exposure to adverse weather conditions
Exposure to intense sunlight and UV rays
Physical challenges include:
Accidentally dropping packages
On the corner of the packages
On the side of the packages
Intense vibrations of pallets during transportation (bad road conditions)
Vertical and horizontal movement of pallets (especially on ships)
