ISTA Packaging Testing Equipment & Compliance Solutions
The International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) sets the global rules for safe shipping. Their testing protocols are the industry blueprint for ensuring your products survive the journey from factory to front door.
At Qualitest, we provide the complete setup you need to stress-test your packaging against real-world hazards—like rough vibration, heavy stacking, and sudden drops—right in your own lab. Following these standards is the best way to stop logistics damage and protect your profit margin.
Supported ISTA Test Protocols
We offer equipment compliant with all major ISTA series:
- ISTA 1 Series: Non-simulation integrity tests (Robustness screening).
- ISTA 2 Series: Partial simulation (Mixes basic testing with real-life elements).
- ISTA 3 Series: General simulation (Full replication of transport forces).
Qualitest Packaging Inspection Solutions
We supply the hardware necessary to bring your facility up to ISTA standards:
- Package Vibration Testers: Replicate the continuous shaking of trucks and trains to spot loose parts before they rattle apart.
- Clamp Force Testers: Ensure your crates can withstand the side-squeezing pressure of warehouse forklifts without crushing the goods inside.
- Drop Testers: Scientifically simulate accidental falls and impacts to verify that your internal padding actually protects the product.
- Box Compression Testers: Measure exactly how much downward weight your boxes can handle to ensure they don't buckle when stacked in storage.
