Overview for ISTA Project 6 AMAZON.COM Over Boxing:
ISTA Project 6 AMAZON.COM Over Boxing is a general simulation test for eCommerce fulfillment of individual retail packaged products placed into a primary shipping container (Over Box) shipped through Amazon’s distribution system to final customer destinations (The Last Mile). This project utilizes a general simulation of actual transport hazards by either ground or air by evaluating the integrity of the primary packaging or transport package. Purple Diamond Testing offers ISTA 6-AMAZON.COM-Over Boxing testing as part of our packaging distribution testing services.
Rationale for ISTA Project 6 AMAZON.COM Over Boxing:
ISTA 6-AMAZON.COM-Over Boxing – e-Commerce Fulfillment for Parcel Delivery Shipment. Evaluates the protective performance of a primary package or transport package related to thermal conditions, shocks, vibrations, and other stressors normally encountered in Amazon’s delivery system. The procedure helps Amazon.com certify each vendor’s packaging. Once a passing report is generated, the vendor will upload the report to Amazon’s vendor portal where the packaging as assessed will be certified. Purple Diamond Testing is a part of the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS).
