As the demand for health supplements continues to grow, ensuring product safety and integrity has become essential. If your health supplement company is preparing to launch a line of wellness-focused products, you’ll want to guarantee that their packaging can endure the challenges of transport, handling, and environmental stresses. This is where our team from Purple Diamond comes in. From securing packaging during transit to maintaining product quality in various climates, comprehensive packaging testing for a new health supplement will give you peace of mind that your product is safe from the time it leaves shipping and receiving until it reaches the hands of your consumers.
Phase 1: Physical Testing
Packaging testing for a new health supplement is typically divided into three different stages: physical testing, environmental testing, and transit testing.
The physical testing stage helps determine the package’s ability to withstand the various physical forces your package may face during handling and distribution. Tests may include:
- Compression Testing: To conduct this test, the packaging is placed on a compression tester and gradually compressed until it reaches the desired pressure. The packaging is then monitored for any deformations or damage.
- Drop Testing: The packaging is dropped several times from different heights to simulate the rigors of transportation and handling. The packaging is inspected for any cracks or leaks after each drop.
- Vibration Testing: The packaging is subjected to high-frequency vibrations for several hours to simulate the transit of the product. This test checks the durability of the packaging and ensures that it can withstand the vibrations.
Phase 2: Environmental Testing
Environmental Testing helps ensure that your product can withstand temperature extremes, whether hot or cold. Tests may include:
- Temperature Testing: The packaging is subjected to different temperature settings to ensure that it can withstand extreme temperatures during transportation and storage.
- Humidity Testing: The packaging is tested for its resistance to humidity levels that may impact packaging integrity and cause moisture damage to the product.
Phase 3: Transit Testing
This phase of the packaging testing process stimulates the rigors of transportation, ensuring your product and its packaging can withstand stacking, loading, and more. Tests may include:
- Stacking and Loading Testing: Packaging is tested to see if it can withstand the stacking of heavy cargo on top of the package during transportation and storage. This test ensures that the packaging will not get squished, dented, or damaged during transit.
- Transportation Testing: Packaging is tested to ensure that it is not damaged during transport. This was achieved by simulating transportation vibrations, handling, pressure changes, and temperature fluctuations that could may impact packaging integrity.
Phase 4: Reporting
Once all of the physical, environmental, and transit tests are complete, your team will receive a detailed report. This report outlines how your health supplement product performed during testing. It won’t only tell you if your product and its packaging passed or failed, but will include valuable insights that will help you improve future packaging, optimize costs, enhance safety, and guarantee customer satisfaction.
