Perform Drop Test to Check the Quality of Packaging

Packaging helps to protect the contents inside from dynamic, static, and climatic influences. These packaging are tested by international standards and norms. The smooth storage and logistics of the products require a proper packaging test. These tests are not recommended as standard as they are customised with respect to the requirement of the customer. Packaging goods securely is important to prevent financial loss. Using high-quality double wall boxes to secure and hold the weight of the contents is vital to prevent potential damages.

Many factors contribute to the damage of products during shipment. They are road conditions, weather, warehousing conditions, shape and size of the package, the way they are loaded into the truck, the content of other packages, machine or human error etc.

• Damage to inner packaging
• Damage to the shipping cartons
• Scratches, deformation, dents or any other damage to the contents inside

Ways to qualify drop test are:

• Good quality packaging should be selected at the time of shipping as the price for replacing damaged goods is higher than the price to pay for protective packaging.
• Choose proper thickness and structural design to ensure the proper level of protection to the contents inside where the weight is more.
• Tracking of quantity and the position of the products within the carton.
• Using additional measures like “Fragile” label, directional arrows, etc.
