Simulating real-world shipping conditions to guarantee your packaging protects your products.
For decades, ARBO Box has been at the forefront of packaging solutions that fulfill ISTA transit testing requirements. Our custom packaging designs are built to endure the most rigorous transit conditions so that your products arrive intact and in perfect condition. Our experience and dedication to ISTA compliance mean that we deliver trusted, reliable, and high-quality packaging solutions every time.
International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) testing ensures that your packaging can tolerate the harsh conditions of the shipping and transit environment. These General Simulation Performance Tests replicate the motions, forces, and conditions your package will encounter during transport. By mimicking the challenges your products face, ISTA testing guarantees your packaging solution will provide maximum protection to reduce the risk of damage during shipping.
Cost Savings: Avoid costly replacements or repairs due to damage with packaging solutions that hold up during transit.
Improved Customer Satisfaction: Deliver your products safely and without delays for a seamless customer experience.
Product Protection: Tested packaging guarantees that your products arrive securely, even in the toughest transport environments.
Regulatory Compliance: ISTA certification ensures compliance with shipping and transportation regulations, both domestically and internationally.
Our Transit Testing Process
At ARBO Box, we implement a comprehensive testing process to ensure that your packaging is built to withstand the challenges of real-world transportation. Each test is carefully designed to replicate the conditions that your products will encounter during shipping.
Vibration Testing
Vibration testing simulates the continuous movement experienced during road, rail, or air transportation. Our process mimics the shaking and vibrations caused by vehicle engines, rough terrain, and turbulence. By subjecting your packaging to these conditions, we assess its ability to secure your products over extended periods of movement, preventing product shifting, wear, or breakage during transit.
Drop Testing
Shipping environments can be unpredictable, and packages are often dropped or handled roughly. Our drop testing simulates various drop scenarios from different heights and angles to assess the force resistance of your packaging. This ensures that your products can endure accidental drops, rough handling, and impacts during loading and unloading without sustaining damage.
Compression Testing
Compression testing evaluates the strength of your packaging when subjected to the weight and pressure of stacking. Whether stacked in a warehouse or during transportation, your packaging must hold up under the weight of other containers. We simulate the heavy loads experienced in transit, ensuring your boxes and crates can withstand pressure without collapsing or compromising the safety of the contents.
Environmental Testing
Environmental factors like temperature and humidity can affect the integrity of packaging materials. Our environmental testing process replicates extreme temperature changes, high humidity, and exposure to moisture that packages may face in different climates or during extended storage. This ensures that your packaging maintains its strength and durability and protects your products from damage caused by heat, cold, or damp conditions.
Side Impact Testing
Often referred to as "drop testing," ISTA and ASTM standards cover a wide variety of tests. From individual boxes to palletized loads, we can test it.
