TESTING IN PACKAGING MATERIALS

At IIP, we conduct comprehensive testing of packaging materials to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and sustainability. Our rigorous testing processes include evaluating the mechanical strength, barrier properties, environmental resilience, and chemical safety of packaging materials. We also ensure compliance with industry regulations, while focusing on the durability, integrity, and environmental impact.

 

Our testing service includes testing of various packaging materials including but not limited to, paper & paper board, CFB (Corrugated Fibre Board) / carton boxes, flexible packaging materials, rigid packaging materials, metal packaging, textiles / woven sacks, wooden packaging, holograms, ancillary  and allied packaging materials (tapes, straps, labels, etc).
