Seal integrity testing of pouch seals & flexible packaging
Analysis of laminated, bonded materials
Package materials and combinations include Tyvek®, Paper, Foil, Film, Aluminum, Plastic & Laminated Materials
Fast, non-destructive, non-invasive, and requires no sample preparation.
QA/QC off-line process control
Non-contact airborne ultrasound technology
Scans materials regardless of color, transparency, print, surface finish and porosity.
Applicable to all stages of the packaging process.
Identifies type of defect, size and location.
Provides visual indicators and numeric data.
Repeatable, reliable, easy to validate

Package Testing & Inspection Service

Package testing and inspection is an important step in getting a product to market and in maintaining consistent quality. Product quality and sterility are directly affected by package and seal integrity. For many companies, the decision making process for equipment capital expenditures can often take considerable time and can delay implementing an inspection method at a critical phase of the manufacturing and production process. A practical option is to employ the use of package testing service that utilizes non-destructive equipment & test methods that are accepted industry standards and recognized by both the FDA and ASTM.

PTI's testing service is a cost-effective solution for process control batch testing, test market, product start-up, trial products and can be a valuable tool at various stages of the package development process. Customers can implement a testing program very quickly with fast result turnaround, with the added benefit of using only the services they need when they need them.
