Packaging engineering that treats every claim as something you can test
From design-for-manufacture through finite element analysis, physical prototyping and validated testing — our engineering process exists to catch failure in the lab, not in your supply chain.
Our Process
A design-build-test cycle, not a single design pass
Every packaging program moves through the same engineered sequence — component assessment, DFM, prototyping, simulation, physical testing, validation sign-off and production release — with continuous improvement feeding data back into the next cycle.
Assess
Component geometry, weight & risk
DFM
Design for manufacture
Prototype
Physical build for fit checks
Simulate
FEA & stacking simulation
Test
Drop, ISTA & road testing
Validate
Sign-off against protocol
Release
Production tooling & rollout
Capabilities
Nine engineering capabilities
Design for Manufacture (DFM)
Structural and material design reviewed for manufacturability before tooling is committed, reducing rework and cost surprises downstream.
Finite Element Analysis
Digital stress and load modeling predicts packaging performance under compression and impact before a physical prototype is built.
Stacking Simulation
Warehouse and container stacking loads modeled against packaging structural limits to prevent crush failure in storage or transit.
Packaging Validation
Formal validation against ISTA, ASTM D4169 or customer-specific protocols, with documented pass/fail evidence.
Drop Testing
Controlled-height drop testing across package orientations to identify impact failure points before production.
ISTA Testing
International Safe Transit Association test sequences applied for standardized, comparable performance benchmarking.
Road Testing
Instrumented road and real-route testing capturing the actual shock and vibration profile of your transit lane.
Prototype Development
Rapid physical prototyping from design concepts, built and iterated in our in-house design center.
Continuous Improvement
Field and warehouse damage data reviewed on a cycle to refine packaging specifications over the product's life.
Why It Matters
A failed drop test in our lab costs a design iteration. A failed drop in the field costs a lot more.
Validation testing before production tooling turns an expensive field failure into a cheap lab iteration. Every test report we issue documents the exact protocol, conditions and pass/fail determination — evidence your quality and procurement teams can actually audit.
What a validation report includes
- — Exact test protocol and severity level applied
- — Documented test conditions and sequence
- — Photographic / video evidence of the test run
- — Clear pass/fail determination against defined criteria
- — Design recommendations where performance falls short
