Packaging Performance

Ensure your packaging is safe and effective at protecting your products. Our comprehensive cosmetics, detergents and hygiene product packaging testing solutions ensure safety and functionality and avoid loss and damage during transportation, handling and storage.

Safeguarding products during handling and storage can be difficult. Packaging materials need to be attractive, functional and sufficiently robust to avoid damage and deterioration.

Better packaging for your cosmetics and personal hygiene products

We deliver a suite of packaging testing solutions to help you ensure your cosmetic, detergent and absorbent hygiene products remain safe and in optimum condition during handling, storage and transportation.

Our experts assess primary and secondary packaging against a wide variety of requirements, including:

• Leakage
• Functionality
• Packaging transit (ISTA protocols)
• Packaging end-of-life and ecotoxicity
• Packaging compatibility:
• Extractables and leachables
• Substance of very high concern (SVHC), heavy metals, global migration, etc.
• Weight loss, color, odor, appearance, viscosity, pH, etc.

Our assessors can also advise on compliance with global packaging regulations, such as EU Directive 94/62/EC and the US Toxic Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH).
