If you design or validate packaging, you already know the challenge: reduce material, maintain protection, and keep margins healthy. gh Testing Product Testing and Consulting helps packaging engineers, quality managers, and operations leaders do exactly that through certified ISTA and ASTM testing. Our testing doesn’t just validate performance—it also removes waste, reduces risk, and strengthens your bottom lin
Driving Out Cost Through Smarter Packaging Validation
Every extra layer of corrugate, wrap, or foam adds cost and complexity. By testing early in the design phase, you can clearly see how your packaging performs and remove excess materials before production begins. As a result, your packaging becomes lighter, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
At gh Testing, we use vibration testing, drop testing, and compression testing to optimize strength while minimizing weight.
- Vibration testing replicates the motion of trucks, rail, or air transport so you can understand how packaging behaves in transit.
- Drop testing reveals how well corners, seals, and cushioning protect products during handling.
- Compression testing measures how much load your packaging can withstand in pallet stacks, allowing you to safely reduce board grade or redesign for efficiency.
Because these methods provide measurable data, you can confidently reduce material use, lower freight costs, and cut waste—without compromising protection.
Reducing Risk Through Real-World Simulation
Product damage in transit isn’t random. Instead, it’s both predictable and preventable. That’s why our environmental and temperature chamber testing recreates extreme conditions such as heat, cold, and humidity. This process ensures your materials, adhesives, and labels perform reliably across every climate.
In addition, we conduct shock and incline impact testing to simulate sudden stops or rough handling during transport. Atmospheric conditioning also maintains consistent temperature and humidity throughout testing, which makes results more accurate.
These real-world simulations uncover weaknesses long before your products reach customers. Consequently, you can prevent costly returns, product loss, and damage to your brand’s reputation.
Improving Margins Through Data and Confidence
When you reduce cost and limit risk, margin growth naturally follows. With gh Testing’s ISTA and ASTM-compliant methods, you gain a measurable advantage: lighter packaging, fewer damage claims, and faster product launches.
Furthermore, our accredited testing supports pharmaceutical, CPG, and automotive clients in making confident, data-driven decisions. Therefore, the result is a stronger, more efficient, and more profitable supply chain.
Ready to Prove It
Every shipment is a test—whether you measure it or not. gh Testing helps packaging engineers validate designs, improve performance, and protect profitability through proven ISTA and ASTM testing.
