Material Quality Auditing
At Best Packaging, we understand the critical role that reliable parts play in maintaining the efficiency and productivity of your end-of-line packaging systems. Our extensive parts offering is designed to cater to a broad spectrum of packaging equipment, ensuring that your operations run smoothly and uninterrupted.
Material Quality Audits
A material quality audit is not just a check; it’s a strategic approach to understand and optimize the performance of your packaging materials. Such audits can reveal hidden savings opportunities in your supply chain, especially when packaging materials are not designed with precise product specifications or are inadequate for the distribution journey. This oversight can result in increased costs due to shipping excess air space or dealing with damaged shipments.
Analysis and Testing
Our audits include a thorough examination of material strength and durability through tests like the box compression test (BCT), edge compression test (ECT), and other industry-standard procedures. We also consider the specific needs of your supply chain, choosing materials like ECT-certified corrugate for environments that require less handling, leading to cost savings.
Designing for Distribution
We focus on “designing for distribution” by analyzing the entire journey of the product to create packaging solutions that withstand various hazards like rough handling and extreme temperatures. This approach not only minimizes product damage but also enhances customer satisfaction and optimizes material usage.
Leveraging ISTA Testing
Our partnership with International Safe Transit Authority (ISTA) testing facilities allows us to evaluate and improve your current packaging designs, ensuring they meet the highest standards for safe and efficient transit. This collaboration helps us predict packaging performance under real-world conditions, uncovering savings opportunities and ensuring your packaging is ideal for your specific supply chain needs.
