Compressive strength of (shipping) containers

Stacking forces or compression forces generated during warehouse storage and transit can generate severe compressive loads. Container compression tests are an essential part of the packaging design process. We offer a full range of compression test systems to determine the performance of unit loads, individual packages, components, and materials under compressive loads p.ex boxes, buckets, cartons or tanks. This information enables the engineer to minimize damage, costs, and liability due to stacking failure.
AMAZON ISTA 6 Testing - Compression testing
The AMAZON ISTA 6 standards were developed by ISTA in cooperation with Amazon.com to evaluate individual packages. Project 6-AMAZON.COM is a general simulation test for “Ships In Own Container” (SIOC) packaged-products shipped through Amazon’s distribution system to final customer destinations.
