Pallet Integrity Testing

Pallet Integrity Testing

Pallet integrity testing is a process used to assess the strength and durability of pallets and unitized cargo across their entire transportation life cycle. It is important for businesses to ensure their pallet packaging is compliant with regulations, as failure to do so can lead to costly losses in sales and customer loyalty.

Any lab should offer expert regulatory compliance testing and provide competitive prices and volume discounts. Our engineers are also available to assist customers in finding solutions for packages that don’t meet specifications.

Pallet testing is designed to evaluate a product’s resistance to shocks, vibrations, and other stresses that may be encountered during handling and transit. By assessing package performance and product safety, businesses can reduce product damage and loss, as well as benefit from shorter product-to-market timelines, cost-effective distribution, and consumer satisfaction.

In order to ensure pallet integrity is maintained, Infinita Labs employs a variety of testing tools and resources, such as drop testers, shakers, and compression machines. Tests are conducted according to ISTA 3B or ISTA 3E standards, and involve simulated distribution cycles with a pre-determined pass or fail criteria.

Ultimately, pallet integrity testing is a necessary step in protecting goods and revenue, while also ensuring customers receive products as they were intended.
