What we do
At Atlantic Packaging, our team of experts design corrugated packaging solutions to perform in real world environments. The materials and structure that make up each corrugated package are
designed to withstand a variety of stress tests simulating real world conditions, and to ultimately deliver the quality and durability our customers have come to expect.
Our in-house corrugated testing lab and technicians are ISTA certified, and all tests are conducted in accordance to ISTA and TAPPI standards and procedures. All of our tests are designed to troubleshoot and/or validate corrugated designs through various testing procedures including material, pre-shipment and dangerous goods testing.

Types of Testing:
Material Testing:
Material tests are designed to confirm that the corrugated mterial components (liners and medium), are within specifications. All tests are performed under controlled conditions (50% ± 2% RH and 73 ± 2°F) in accordance with TAPPI (T-402). Material tests help to ensure the right material is being used for each specific application.
