In today’s fast-paced environment, ensuring that a product reaches its destination in its original condition is crucial. From medical devices to pharmaceutical products, the integrity of a package is paramount. Eurofins is here to offer you package testing expertise and guidance to ensure product safety, sterility and compliance with regulatory standards.

Package testing is a rigorous process designed to simulate real-world factors and environmental conditions that a product may encounter during transit, and involves testing for durability, resilience and sterility assurance.

Eurofins specializes in package testing for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and other and other consumer goods. The process helps ensure products reach their destination without compromised quality or safety.

Many companies mistakenly view package testing as the “final step” in product development. Waiting until you are nearing the end of your product development testing can result in costly delays, should there be any unexpected results.

Engaging with Eurofins early in the process can help mitigate risks and ensure your packaging designs meet industry standards. By addressing potential issues early in a project’s development, businesses can save time and resources while avoiding regulatory setbacks.

Eurofins employs a variety of package testing methodologies to simulate real-world transportation and handling conditions. These tests include:

• Drop Testing – Evaluates how a package withstands accidental drops during transportation.
• Vibration Testing – Assesses the impact of continuous movement and shaking that occurs in transit.
• Environmental Conditioning – Exposes packaging to extreme temperatures and humidity to determine its resilience.
• Sterile Barrier Integrity Testing – Ensures that no microorganisms or contaminants breach the packaging, maintaining the sterile barrier of medical and pharmaceutical products.

1. Eurofins Testing Facilities

Eurofins laboratory equipment provides testing to meet ISO 17025 requirements including advanced climatic chambers, vibration and drop testing equipment. This allows us to simulate real-world shipping and storage conditions.

2. Testing for Industry-Specific Needs

Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, Eurofins collaborates with clients to design testing programs that align with industry regulations such as ASTM, ISTA, and ISO standards. Whether ensuring pharmaceutical packaging stability under extreme temperatures or verifying the tamper resistance of consumer products, our solutions are precisely tailored. While many package testing labs focus on large-scale projects, Eurofins is able to accommodate large, mid-size and small companies.

3. Regulatory Expertise and Global Compliance Support

Navigating the complex regulatory landscape can be challenging. Eurofins’ regulatory experts provide guidance to ensure that packaging complies with global standards, reducing the risk of market entry delays and compliance issues. Clients work closely with experienced professionals who oversee the testing process from start to finish, ensuring clarity and accuracy in reporting

4. Rapid Turnaround Times

While other labs may take a week to begin testing, Eurofins can start the same day, with results available in as little as two to three days.

Beyond simply identifying failures, Eurofins provides accurate test data and relevant observations to evaluate package performance.
