ISTA certification means that a packaging company has successfully tested its products to meet the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) requirements. ISTA is an industry association that develops standards and protocols for packaging testing and certification. The certification ensures that the packaging can withstand various transportation and handling conditions and adequately protect the product it contains. To achieve ISTA certification, a packaging company must conduct rigorous tests on its packaging products The tests simulate real-world transportation and handling conditions, such as drops, vibrations, and impacts. The packaging is then evaluated for any signs of damage or other issues that could affect the product’s safety or performance. If the packaging passes the tests and meets the ISTA standards, the packaging company is awarded certification. For customers, ISTA certification provides assurance the packaging will adequately protect the product during transportation and storage, reducing the risk of damage or other issues.
