QC Tailored for Printing and Packaging   

Printing and packaging products are subject to a wide range of expectations. Packaging must protect a product from production to the time it reaches the consumer. Packaging that comes into contact with food must be safe. Labels and packaging may need to meet regional safety or environmental requirements. And beyond that, printing and packaging must represent a product’s brand effectively, and consumers want packaging that’s eco-friendly and easy to open.

When it comes to printing and packaging materials, laboratory testing is an essential tool for avoiding costly production delays, compliance violations, returns due to product damage, or rejection due to bad presentation. Our quality and safety testing experts can help you make sure your printing and packaging materials comply with regulations, protect the product, and meet all expectations. Our physical, mechanical, and chemical laboratory tests will help you produce safe, compliant printing and packaging materials that meet legal requirements and quality standards no matter where they end up.
