ISTA Standards for Testing Packaging Reliability [Podcast]Sofeast’s head of New Product Development, Andrew Amirnovin, talks about ISTA standards for testing packaging like shipping cartons.

Any importer shipping product from country to country by road, rail, air, or sea needs to consider the impact that transit will have on shipping cartons. Luckily, the ISTA standards and their sequences of tests allow importers to gain valuable peace of mind that their cartons are up to the task of protecting their valuable products.
