The damage that the environment may cause to the product in the whole process of storage, transportation and circulation must be considered before the product leaves the factory. CTI can simulate various environmental stresses in the process of storage and transportation to evaluate the protection ability of the packing box to the products inside the box. The testing and identifying the performance of carton made of packaging materials can help to improve the quality of packaging and ensure the reliability of products.
◉ Business Challenges
What kind of stress will the product package suffered during transportation?
How is the quality of wires and cables verified? How is the protection ability of the packing box to the products in the box ensured?

◉ Frequently Asked Question
How long does the test period take?
The normal period is 5-7 working days (except the time when the sample is in the test chamber). If you need urgent help, please contact our sales or customer service.
What should be considered when sending the sample?
Another packaging box or wooden frame should be added to protect the packaging box to be tested during sending. This want to avoid the damage of packaging box by bumps and other accidents during transportation.
What is the difference between ISTA test Series 1, series 2, and Series 3?
ISTA 1 Series - Non-Simulation Integrity Performance Tests. Challenge the strength and robustness of the product and package combination. Not designed to simulate environmental occurrences. Useful as screening tests, particularly when used as a consistent benchmark over time.
ISTA 2 Series: Partial Simulation Performance Tests. Tests with at least one element of a 3 Series type General Simulation performance test, such as atmospheric conditioning or mode-shaped random vibration, in addition to basic elements of a 1 Series type Non-Simulation Integrity test.
ISTA 3 Series: General Simulation Performance Tests. Designed to provide a laboratory simulation of the damage-producing motions, forces, conditions, and sequences of transport environments. Applicable across broad sets of circumstances, such as a variety of vehicle types and routes, or a varying number of handling exposures. Characteristics will include simple shaped random vibration, different drop heights applied to the sample package, and/or atmospheric conditioning such as tropical wet or winter/frozen.
Which standards in ISTA are appropriate for the unitized loads of packged-products on a skid or pallet?
ISTA-1E is applied for basic performance test of the unitized loads of packged-products on a skid or pallet, and ISTA-3E is applied for general simulation.
What are the pretreatment condition for ISTA testing?
The pretreatment environmental condition in ISTA testing is determined by the environment that may be encountered during packaging transportation.
