Low-Pressure Test is conducted to identify potential challenges and stresses that the packaging and the products it contains could be exposed to during air transportation. This test is particularly important for products and packages that could be sensitive to a low-pressure environment.

The validation of packaging stems from the need to ensure the quality of products across the many steps in your distribution cycle: from shipping to storage. It is indeed an increasingly common requirement for many product categories, including a strong emphasis on the packaging quality requirements for medical and pharmaceutical industries.

The ASTM-D5276 standard test method for drop test of loaded containers evaluates the capability of a container to withstand the sudden shock resulting from a free fall, or the capability of a container and its inner packing to protect its contents during the sudden shock resulting from a free fall.

Atmospheric preconditioning simulates the effects of different temperature and humidity levels on packages and products. It’s often used to evaluate the performance and durability of packaging materials and products under various environmental conditions.

Measuring the bond strength of materials is a key factor in determining the reliability and durability of many products. By ensuring the adhesive strength meets the required standards, manufacturers can enhance product quality, improve customer satisfaction, and prevent potential failures or malfunctions.

The Burst Test, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in ISO 2758, is a globally recognized method for assessing the bursting strength of paper. This test, also known as the Mullen Test, is applicable to paper with bursting strengths ranging from 70 kPa to 1,400 kPa.

Bubble leak testing is an important method in the medical packaging industry to detect critical leaks within packaging. This test is particularly useful for validating the integrity of packages and bags, which is necessary to maintain a sterile environment for the contents. This test involves submerging the package or bag in water and applying a small amount of pressure to the package. The presence of a continuous stream of bubbles indicates a leak and therefore a breach of the sterile barrier.

Making sure that the sterilization is done correctly is one of the main priorities in the medical device and packaging industry. All medical packaging, whether it is a single-use product or intended for resterilization and reuse, must be strong enough to be easily opened by healthcare providers while ensuring product sterility. To ensure that packaging achieves this delicate balance, many manufacturers follow test standards such as ASTM F88 to measure the tensile strength of adhesives used in medical device packaging.

Medical device manufacturers need to ensure the integrity of packaging seals. One of the key methods employed to verify seal integrity is the Dye Migration Test. This test, governed by standards such as ASTM F1929 and F3039, utilizes a brightly colored dye to visually detect any channels or leaks in the package seal. The process involves filling the package with a dye solution, subjecting it to conditions that might cause the dye to migrate through potential leaks, and then inspecting the package for any evidence of seal failure. The Dye Migration Test is an essential part of quality control processes, helping manufacturers ensure that their packaging is secure and reliable, thereby maintaining the sterility of the medical device until use.

Compression tests are used to determine a material’s behavior under applied crushing loads, and are typically conducted by applying compressive pressure to a test specimen (usually of either a cuboid or cylindrical geometry) using platens or specialized fixtures on a universal testing machine.
