MONDI has announced the expansion of its International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) and Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS) certified Performance Lab services to cater to the growing demands of e-commerce customers.
The firm said its Performance Lab, located in the Czech Republic, can also now test converted solutions such as MailerBAGs and corrugated boxes.
Mondi explained that the Performance Lab’s equipment simulates the typical impact of packed goods in each supply chain step.
“Our certified Performance Lab is designed to test the quality and resilience of e-commerce packaging under realistic conditions,” said Nedim Nisic, Mondi Group e-commerce director. “Our testing environment simulates common circumstances on packed goods in each step of its journey, providing a data-based evaluation to identify potential packaging deficits or weak points in the design.”
Mondi’s ISTA laboratory tests Amazon’s Tier 1-3 compliant packaging; FFP – Frustration Free Packaging, SIOC – Ships in Own Container and PFP – Amazon Prep-Free Packaging. Lab services include clamp, vibration, drop, and compression tests, certifications, and test reports for various ISTA standards.
“Packaging plays a crucial role in delivering a superior customer experience while ensuring product safety during transit in the rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape,” added Javier Prieto, the leader of the Czech Mondi ISTA Lab.
The lab initially focused on corrugated solutions and has now expanded its scope to all converted e-commerce solutions.
