Distribution Box Parameter Testing Standards

Home / Distribution Box Parameter Testing Standards

A cornerstone standard in this area is ASTM D4169, Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems. ASTM D4169 defines a series of tests and hazard levels to evaluate how a packaged product will endure a typical distribution cycle. If you plan to distribute your product, this type of testing is an invaluable tool that can assess package. As members of ASTM and ISTA, DDL's engineers are well versed in these sometimes difficult to understand test standards. ASTM's paper and packaging standards are instrumental in the evaluation and testing of the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of various pulp, paper, and paperboard materials that are processed primarily to make containers, shipping boxes and parcels, and other packaging and labeling.
