Packaging Performance Test Service / Technical Center

Technical Center Main Visual

The LOGISTEED Technical Center, located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, is our own unique facility, solely specialized in packaging analysis and its optimization.

After we develop a packaging material, we test quantitatively and qualitatively, using a variety of testing equipment and instruments. The packaging material's property is checked through various tests such as tension, compression, rupture, etc., and also verified for the vibration and shock that can occur in such transportation modes as trucking and railway. We investigate matters occurring in packaging, transportation and storage by tests conforming to JIS, ASTM and UN standard. We also support your needs for product evaluation. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
