Testing Services
Introduction
When your mission depends on the integrity of your equipment, there’s no room for doubt. At Mil-Spec Packaging of GA, our Testing Services provide the critical validation you need to ensure your packaging will perform under any circumstances. We don’t just design and build—we prove our solutions work through rigorous, real-world simulation and strict adherence to military and industry standards.
The Importance of Testing
For military and export packaging, an educated guess isn’t enough. Testing is the final, essential step to verify that a package can withstand the hazards of the military supply chain. We test against a variety of potential threats, including:
Handling
Drops and impacts that occur during loading, unloading, and in-field handling.
Vibration
Constant, jarring vibrations from land, air, and sea transport.
Environment
Extreme temperatures, humidity, and atmospheric pressure changes that could compromise the package or its contents.
Partnered for Performance
We partner with a network of accredited third-party labs. This ensures that our testing is objective, verifiable, and free from any conflict of interest. Our partners are specialists in their field, equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and the expertise to simulate real-world conditions with pinpoint accuracy.
Our testing protocols are based on key military and commercial standards, including:
- MIL-STD-2073: The Department of Defense standard for military packaging, which mandates specific testing to ensure preservation methods and packing levels are effective against various hazards.
- ASTM D4169: A widely recognized standard for performance testing of shipping containers and systems. This standard simulates various distribution cycles, from commercial motor freight to military shipments, and includes testing for compression, drop, and vibration.
Peace of Mind, Verified
By subjecting our packaging to these rigorous tests, we can provide you with documented proof that our solutions will protect your valuable assets. Our testing services help you avoid costly shipping failures, contract penalties, and, most importantly, ensure your mission-critical equipment arrives at its destination in perfect working condition. It’s the ultimate peace of mind, backed by data.
