Starting with a signed off protocol and finishing with full qualifiction reporting and full colour instructional literature. We also continue our support with the offer of onsite training for your teams. OUR 5 STEP METHOD When designing thermal packaging, we consider the entire supply chain and together with our customers, we use our 5 step method to determine the conditions during transport, the vulnerability of the product and all performance expectations of the packaging. Based on these parameters, the right test procedure is selected and executed. 1 Understanding your distribution The logistics route that the product follows from start to finish, has to be thoroughly understood and in close corporation with the client a realistic test plan is created. 2 Understanding your product A detailed analysis of the product-critical specifications will provide us with the parameters for the design, which in turn informs as to which insulation and/or shock absorbing materials should be used. 3 Selecting the right materials Choosing the correct material not only depends on the temperature fragility of the product, but also on factors such as the transport conditions, total cost and handling limitations. 4 Developing the packaging By understanding the requirement our engineers will combine the optimal components to create a thermal solution that meets all aspects of the brief. 5 Qualification and Implementation Within our test labs we will define the overal performance of the final design. These results will be documented within a qualification report, which our clients use to confirm suitability of the solution within their operation.
