Drop Testing

Drop Testing is a service we offer, We take the customers product with our packaging and do a 1a 2a 3a 4a or a variety of other drop tests depending on your needs. We get a performance review of how the packaging would hold up under certain conditions. It is dropped on all four corners and it is put under duress. It is a good indicator of what kind of stress it will be put under from the time it leaves the manufacturer until it gets to the end user. We are also able to offer the customer hard data in a form of a report analysis or a flash drive.
