Transport testing of packaging - We can help you

Do you need transport testing for your packaging? At the Danish Technological Institute, we have more than 70 years of experience in the packaging industry and are one of Europe’s most experienced testing centers.

Short delivery times and the highest possible quality are the main reasons why we continue to be Denmark’s preferred testing center, and when urgent problems occur, we are always ready to assist - both domestically and internationally.

Our large customer base includes both national and international companies.

Our long-standing and close collaboration with universities and companies has given us a vast knowledge base, which our customers benefit from directly—and we are always up to date with the latest insights.

Why test?

When goods are transported, they are subjected to mechanical and climatic influences, such as shocks, vibrations, stacking loads, temperature, and humidity. The purpose of packaging is to protect the goods from the majority of these impacts.

Laboratory testing with simulated transport stresses is a reliable method for measuring packaging performance—and the stresses applied in the lab are reproducible. This makes it easy to verify the effect of changes in packaging.

Accreditation and test standards

Our entire test center is DANAK-accredited for conducting transport tests (DS ISO/IEC 17025 – General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories).

We test according to e.g. ISTA, ASTM, IEC, DIN, CEN, FEFCO, and ISO standards. In addition, our equipment allows testing according to most company-specific requirements.

There is an increasing demand for ISTA testing, which is why our test laboratory is approved by ISTA. Furthermore, all our test personnel have passed ISTA’s training courses.

Our specialists help select the right test standard for both standard and special tests, and we assist in choosing the right packaging partner.
