The Impact of Temperature-Related Incidents

Damage costs millions of dollars in wasted products as well as lost environmental resources. By avoiding damage during transport, the optimum protection saves significantly more energy than the energy used for the packaging’s entire life.

Preventing loss, does not start or end with the carrier

TempAid provides several packaging testing services designed to ensure proper handling and storage of temperature sensitive products. Testing may include thermal packaging qualification or performance qualification testing to assure a specific process will meet its predetermined acceptance criteria.

When you need to get a package validation testing project done quickly to meet a tight deadline, you want to know your testing laboratory has the capacity to turn things around accurately and on-time.

If you are questioning higher-than-anticipated rates of failure in transit or if the dimensional weight can be reduced, a laboratory testing solution may provide the answers you seek. Our lab offers a full suite of package testing for the pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer goods industries.
