Drop Testers
Drop testing mimics the shipping and distribution environment in a way that exposes packages to the types of impacts they may endure while traveling through the supply chain. By controlling the height from which the test samples are dropped, users are able to control the impact velocity, which is proportional to impact energy.
Verifying the effectiveness of your product packaging through drop testing ensures that your items will remain safe and intact throughout the transportation process. When your products can withstand harsh distribution conditions, you save money, minimize losses and ensure customer satisfaction.
