Consumer Goods

The consumer goods industry has been growing steadily over the years. As a result, companies in this industry are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition.

Consumable products face unique challenges along its life cycle, as they are produced, packaged, and shipped before it arrives to the end consumer.

One of the ways to achieve this is through efficient packaging. Proper packaging ensures that goods are delivered to customers safely and efficiently.

Safe Load Testing Technologies solutions provides the tools to measure and replicate the shipping environment in order to optimize the product/packaging system.

As a result, companies are able to design proper packaging, reduce damage, improve reliability and security while reducing costs. Testing with a transport simulation laboratory is always recommended, but in the case of consumer goods packaging, the following equipment are worth mentioning:

clamp testers to test packaged products that are subjected to strong horizontal compression forces during automatic storage
drop testers for vertical and rotational drops of the load
horizontal stability testers to test the resistance of the packaging to accelerations and decelerations
compression testers, designed to test the compressive strength and creep test of the package
shock & vibration data recorders to generate a vibration or shock profile which can later be used in the design/optimization of the packaging

The consumer goods industry is a global industry, and companies must adhere to international packaging standards.

Transport simulation equipment can help companies conform to these standards such as AST, ISTA, ISO, EUMOS and FMCSA by providing accurate data on the different forces that packaging will experience during transportation. Safe Load Testing Technologies equipment also helps companies determine the best packaging design and materials that will ensure their products meet the required standards. By adhering to these standards, companies can improve their reputation and increase customer trust.
