Package Testing

Package testing examines the effects of the levels of packaging, its contents, external forces, and end-use. On a practical level, many consumer products only withstand vibration testing in the form of package testing. Vibration package testing intends to simulate a product’s voyage in transport and handling.

ISTA, IPC, and ASTM standards and procedures are most often used to define package testing requirements. Many MIL-STD tests are also geared toward package transportation vibration testing. Regulations for hazardous materials, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices are common drivers for this testing.

Transportation vibration tests are almost always random vibration profiles. Data Physics SignalStar Vibration Controllers can control vibration tests on both hydraulic and electrodynamic shakers.

Some package vibration testing, particularly testing that will need to go to higher frequencies, makes use of electrodynamic shakers. SignalForce Electrodynamic Shakers are available in a variety of sizes with accessories that can be used specifically for package test applications.

During transportation, boxes are loaded, unloaded, and even accidentally dropped. Consequently, a critical component of package testing is Drop Testing.
