Pack Troubleshooting

The Distribution Laboratory is a key tool for resolving damage issues arising pre or post launch, including issues that impact on reliability of supply (availability), improving appearance at point of sale and brand perception:

  • Breakage, failure
  • Fatigue
  • Accidental actuation
  • Stress cracking
  • Leakage
  • Instability (pallet)
  • Abrasion/print scuff, decoration damage.

Laboratory projects allow:

  • Identification of mode of failure
  • Analysis of events causing failure
  • Capture of issue using digital real time and high speed video
  • Discussion and recommendations on solutions.

Once a specific issue has been identified and resolved, many clients use Pira to set up performance and specification improvement processes to ensure future fitness – often this involves development of a bespoke laboratory test method and ongoing validation of packed product in Pira’s laboratory.
