Testing & R&D

# Start from scratch

ISTA 7E / 7DThird-Party VerifiedFull Reports AvailableUSP <1079>

# Tested. Validated. Certified. We Show the Data. Not Just the Claim.

ISTA-protocol performance testing, sustainability verification, and logistical analysis. Every test produces a documented result. Ask us for the report.

## Performance Testing

Temperature holds aren't opinions. We test to ISTA 7E and 7D protocols using real-world ambient temperature profiles, distribution simulation, and R-value measurement per ASTM C518.

## Sustainability Testing

There is no shortage of recyclable claims in cold chain packaging. We test ours. Life Cycle Assessment, certified biobased content, chemical profile testing, and end-of-life verification.

## Logistical Analysis

Switching to a flat-ship liner changes your DIM weight calculation. We have run those numbers for hundreds of customers. Tell us your setup and we will show you what moves.

Live Test Result

##  We can simulate any shipping lane and recreate your exact shipping configuration—including the ice pack, box size, and packaging setup—to evaluate virtually any shipping scenario you're looking to test.
