Environmental Condition Testing

In today’s worldwide markets, packaged-products are likely to be shipped through a diverse array of climates on their way to their final destination. Environmental Condition testing is important in helping to design packaging that can withstand various temperatures and humidity levels – and more importantly the rapid and constant changing of these variables that a package can experience.

Our various environmental control chambers, refrigerators, and freezers can replicate various temperatures and humidity levels so that a packaged product can be studied for its durability in these changing environmental conditions.

Calibrated data acquisition systems and probes are used to measure temperature and relative humidity at different locations of your products and packages.
