Damage costs could make or break your bottom line. But often, companies don’t know how that product loss and damage happens. This leads to inefficient supply chains, increased shipping costs, and low customer satisfaction.
Designing packaging with BoldtSmith ensures all of your solutions stand up against a wide range of supply chain hazards. Specifically, ISTA testing ensures our clients have effective package design without product damage.
At BoldtSmith Packaging, we simplify the ISTA package testing process with our comprehensive and expert-driven approach. Our team of packaging engineers has extensive experience in initiating and preparing for ISTA tests. We’ll manage each step leading up to performance tests and interpret the results in the end.
We use state-of-the-art third-party testing laboratories and testing equipment to accurately replicate shipping conditions and provide detailed reports on the performance of your package combination. By partnering with BoldtSmith Packaging, you can ensure the basic elements of your package have been tested and proven to keep products protected, compliant, and ready for the demands of the supply chain.
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) testing is essential for businesses, particularly in the e-commerce and Amazon sectors, seeking to ensure their packaging can withstand real-world shipping conditions. This testing involves subjecting a sample package to rigorous testing protocols, including drop testing, random vibration, shock, compression testing, and other hazards.
Investing in ISTA testing means you get detailed test reports that equip your packaging engineers with data on the level of damage individual packages might incur during transit. With this data, you can refine packaging designs and create multiple alternative package designs tailored to specific shipping challenges.
Achieving ISTA certification not only demonstrates a commitment to quality but also aligns with stringent packaging requirements across platforms like Amazon, ensuring smooth operations and enhanced customer satisfaction in the highly competitive e-commerce market.
While ISTA certification is often a requirement for compliance with a wide variety of industry regulations, it can also be crucial for a business’s reputation. Those who want to ensure the safety and integrity of their products throughout the shipping process demonstrate a commitment to their products and customers.
By adhering to ISTA standards, companies can significantly reduce the incidence of damaged goods, which in turn minimizes returns, replacements, and customer dissatisfaction. Incorporating this testing standard before you deploy your packaging and shipping is simply good business. And if the worst still happens, companies can file claims with shipping companies. A passed report helps your business win damage claims when your packages don’t arrive as intended.
BoldtSmith Packaging Consultants manages the entire testing process so you know your packaging can withstand transit and delivery.
