It is sensitive to package specific criteria such as type, dimensions, weight and stack height. This proprietary program details the test protocol to accurately simulate the hazards of a specific distribution environment on a specific package. Test levels and duration were then fine tuned to produce a benchmark against which ail future package design iterations can be judged. Now, alternative package designs can be prototyped and accurately tested in the laboratory with high confidence that these tests correlate to a specific distribution environment. Minor variations, primariiy in secondary packaging and unitizing methods, are employed based on the destination and carrier mode.
Unnecessary packaging is avoided at enormous savings to the pet food company.
