Environmental Pre-conditioning Getting More Popular
More and more of our clients are specifying preconditioning with their transit testing. Cardboard cartons are susceptible to environmental conditions (especially humidity) the protection which they afford to products in transit can be greatly influenced by the state of the carton.
A variety of conditions can be selected from ISTA standards depending on the voyage you expect your carton to take.
| Frozen | 72 hours at -29°C (-20°F) | uncontrolled relative humidity (RH) |
| Tropical | 72 hours at 38°C (100°F) | 85% RH |
| Desert | 72 hours at 50°C (120°F) | uncontrolled RH |
MET can help you select the optimum program for transit and stability validation.
