Distribution testing

Reduce damage with our distribution testing services

Do you know all of the possible hazards your packaging systems face throughout their supply chain journey, or the many opportunities for damage to occur along the way? Distribution testing is specifically designed to simulate and measure performance in a package’s distribution environments during shipping. Measuring durability against factors such as vibration, compression, and drop testing ensures that the packaging can withstand the rigors of transport, ultimately reducing product damage and improving customer satisfaction.

Interpreting the data from distribution tests is complex, but analyzing that data is just the first step. If you really want to improve performance and reduce product damage, your business needs actionable solutions. At BoldtSmith, our packaging consultants are trained to analyze these results and use these insights to inform how to optimize your packaging systems effectively.

Advantages of distribution testing

The ultimate aim of distribution testing is to identify weaknesses in package systems and provide industry guidance, in order to maintain product and package integrity. Effective packaging distribution testing addresses two key issues, reducing damage and improving costs, effectively leading to more resilient packaging and a reduction in financial losses.

Damage reduction

Distribution testing’s role in damage reduction is pinpointing where and how product damage occurs during transit. The results of these distribution tests identify potential weak points in their current packaging, so that informed recommendations can be made to prevent future damage. BoldtSmith’s designs take out the guesswork by using real data to proactively protect against damage, enhancing product integrity and end user satisfaction.

Cost reduction

A well-designed package minimizes the need for unnecessary materials – and costs – while maximizing protection. This approach leads to fewer returns and reduced inventory loss. However, in order to extract and leverage valuable insights from testing, you have to know exactly what to look for. Our expertise in distribution test simulation and analyzing the resulting data from replicated distribution environments, allows us to offer businesses clear insights into how to optimize packaging without incurring excessive costs.
