Testing Process

A five step testing process is utilized to ensure the best quality product for our customers.

Shake Test

• Expedited testing format to simulate transportation in a container
• Long term transit testing
• Simulate truck, air, and rail transportation between an 8 and 72  hour period
• Meets ISTA test specs unless otherwise specified by customer

Stack Test

• Expedited testing method to simulate storage in a warehouse environment
• Compressive testing to determine the maximum weight a package can withstand
• Stack Performance covering a 60 day period to analyze the packages' performance

Compression Test

• Simulates stacking in a warehouse environment
• Identifies the amount of weight the package can carry

Incline Test

• Simulates various impacts to determine damage caused during handling
• Tests the ability of the package to protect the product
• If the product is <150lbs. a drop test is performed
• If the product is >150lbs. an incline impact test is performed
 

Trans-Shipment Test

• A pre-production pilot test to simulate a full truckload
• Pre-production quantity samples perform less than truckload and full truckload shipments between two locations
• Typically performed by customer with Huntington Foam support
• Last step before final production is approved
