Intertek Debuts Packaging Performance Testing Facility in U.S.
August 10 2018 - 10:15AM
Business Wire
Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider to industries
worldwide, is introducing a packaging performance testing facility
in its Grand Rapids, Michigan laboratory. The facility, which is
the Company’s first packaging lab in North America to be accredited
by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA), provides
end-to-end evaluation of product packages, from design to material
assessment and sustainability.
With the expansion of e-commerce and globalization of supply
chains, packages must be evaluated to ensure they will hold up and
protect products from being damaged. It has been estimated that one
out of 10 packages purchased through e-commerce arrive to the
consumer damaged,1 making it critical for manufacturers and
retailers to ensure the integrity of their packaging in this
growing landscape. Intertek’s packaging performance services
include design evaluation, sustainability services and testing to
various standards including ISTA, ASTM International and customized
specifications of retailers and manufacturers.
Brian Kneibel, Business Development at Intertek said:
“Intertek’s focus has always been to provide services that help our
customers bring quality and safety to life. We have seen the growth
of e-commerce and evolution of supply chains impact our customers
in multiple ways, including packaging. We’re excited to offer the
industry a way to help ensure the quality and sustainability of
their packages as they build their e-commerce platforms and
strategies to meet consumer demand for quality products purchased
online.”
Intertek is a global leader in testing and evaluating the
performance of packages and packaging materials. With 15
ISTA-accredited packaging labs through our global network Intertek
can support supplier networks, manufacturers, retailers, and others
with packaging design, optimization, and performance to provide
total quality assurance.
