Environmental Testing Lab Data

In addition to the rigors of air, rail and truck transport, packages in transit must also stand up to some rather challenging shipping environments. Extreme hot and cold, humidity and other conditions can wreak havoc on packages and the materials inside, so shippers rely on data from an environmental testing lab to help guide packaging decisions, as well as make improvements to packing design and materials.

Inappropriate packaging materials can degrade, leak, tear, corrode or otherwise fail during shipping when moisture and humidity become part of the equation. Excessive heat or cold can have undesired effects on the package contents if the packaging isn’t well designed or is inappropriately used. TEN-E Packaging Services can prevent these unsavory damages by providing package consultation and testing services to better inform your packaging plan.

During the 20 years in the package testing and consultation business, our experts have acquired a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of the packaging industry. We’ve worked hard to hone our expertise and to apply that experience to our test procedures. The result is solid, tangible data you need to ensure the integrity of your packing materials and the products they protect.
