The ISTA certified Grifal laboratory

Numerous logistics, transport and handling companies (traditional and express) recognize and require packaging certifications according to ISTA from their customers, especially for the US domestic, international and intercontinental distribution networks.

The ISTA certified Grifal Laboratory since 2009 is able to perform 30 of the standard ISTA test protocols. Grifal is also part of the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS). It has numerous test equipment and thanks to its highly qualified staff both in the execution of tests and in the development of packaging solutions, it is able to support the customer by suggesting modifications and solutions to make the packaging compatible with the tests.

Testing your packaging with ISTA allows you to:

• Reducing or eliminating the need for multiple test shipments and introducing new products to market faster ensuring their survival
• Reduce breakage and damage during shipping
• Reduce complaints and replacement requests from resellers and customers receiving damaged products
• Optimize the packaging
• Reduce costs
• Increasing distances between suppliers and customers
• Splitting of deliveries
• Reduced delivery times required by the market

Not just ISTA!
The Grifal laboratory is able to support the customer also for the execution of other test protocols such as ASTM, test protocols defined by the customer, etc.
