ISTA 2B Package Test

ISTA Procedure 2D package testing is a standard that simulates shipping hazards for packaged products over 150 pounds. This test simulates shipping hazards. Carriers do not have to comply with packaging regulations.

The transit test using ISTA 2B provides a number of advantages. There is a shortened package development time. There is also more confidence in product launch. Increasing the protection of products will increase profit. It also reduces product damage. An intangible benefit is greater customer satisfaction than low returns. This leads to increased return business.

ISTA 2B contains a series of test sequences. Atmospheric prerequisite and atmospheric conditioning are the first two. The next row is compression. Compression can be completed in one of three ways. The first is the machine application and release. The next machine is application and retention. Final weight and load distributor. The sender must determine the method to be used.

After compression, vibration can be fixed displacement test or random vibration test. Shock is another area that requires the carrier to choose one of three alternative methods. One method is the drop test.

Another method is slope impact test. The last method available is the horizontal impact test. Following the first series of shock tests, there is another series of shock tests using the swivel edge drop test. The following test sequence is another type of vibration test.

When completing the compression test, it is important that the box failure that can cause stacking error is not always considered a test error. It is an error to store the packaged product during distribution. However, it is not an error if it will not be stored.
