Packaging

Unpacking success by testing the limits of packaging durability.

Packaging designers and manufacturers rely on AES environmental test chambers to assess the durability of their materials under various conditions. Chambers simulate different temperature ranges and moisture levels to ensure packaging can withstand real-world environmental challenges.

The primary goal of packaging is to securely contain its contents, preventing leakage, breakage, and other forms of damage. Packaging materials include paper and board (such as paper bags and cartons), rigid plastics, metal, plastic films, and polythene. Each material faces unique stressors, making comprehensive testing essential to guarantee product safety and integrity.

Packaging is utilized across numerous industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, hard goods, soft goods, medical devices, and hazardous materials. Given the diverse applications, packaging standards and regulations vary widely, necessitating specific test requirements tailored to each use case. Environmental test chambers help ensure compliance with these standards, maintaining the highest levels of safety and reliability.
