IIP Kolkata Center
has developed a comprehensive testing facility for all types of package and
packaging materials meeting the requirements of packaging industries. The testing
areas includes evaluation of mechanical & physical properties, barrier properties,
chemical migration and compatibility test, environmental resistance & sustainability
of packaging materials.
The testing material
covers the entire spectrum of packaging materials which include paper & paper board, Corrugated
Fibre Board, (CFB) folding carton boxes, flexible packaging materials, rigidpackaging materials, metal packaging, textiles / woven sacks, wooden
packaging, holograms, ancillaryandalliedpackaging materials(tapes, straps, labels, etc.).
