Sensitive and high-value products require specific packaging and transport protocols to guarantee their integrity, confidentiality, and traceability throughout the logistics chain. METROPACK (COFRAC Accreditation No. 1-6986) supports you in validating packaging solutions tailored to the strictest security and protection requirements.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCRETION
The protection of sensitive information begins with packaging. High-value or strategic products require packaging solutions that guarantee discretion and prevent any visual identification of the content during transport and storage.
METROPACK develops and validates specific test protocols to:
- Evaluate the opacity and resistance to visual inspection of packaging
- Verify the effectiveness of anti-tampering and anti-intrusion systems
- Test resistance to unauthorized opening attempts
- Validate the integrity of security seals and tamper-evident systems
Our services also include marking and labeling tests to ensure that sensitive information remains protected throughout the distribution cycle.
TRACEABILITY AND CHAIN OF CUSTODY
Complete traceability is essential for sensitive products. Every step of the logistics chain must be documented and verifiable to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of products.
METROPACK offers validation solutions for:
- Traceability systems using barcodes, QR codes, and RFID
- Resistance of markings to extreme environmental conditions
- Durability of tracking labels during repeated handling
- Accelerated aging tests of marking systems
Our protocols guarantee that your traceability systems remain reliable and readable under all transport and storage conditions.
PROTECTION AGAINST EXTREME CONDITIONS
Sensitive products are often intended for use or storage in particularly challenging environments. Extreme temperatures, high humidity, sudden climate variations, prolonged exposure: your packaging must withstand all these challenges.
METROPACK performs extreme environment simulations:
- Climate tests in chambers from -70°C to +85°C
- Thermal cycles to simulate sudden temperature variations
- Relative humidity tests from 5% to 98%
- Simulation of tropical, desert, or arctic conditions
- Thermal shock resistance tests
These tests validate that your packaging maintains product integrity regardless of geographical destination or usage conditions.
ENHANCED MECHANICAL RESISTANCE
High-value products require exceptional mechanical protection against shocks, vibrations, and compression that may occur during handling, multimodal transport, or prolonged storage.
Our laboratories perform comprehensive mechanical tests:
- Free fall tests from various heights and orientations
- Vibration simulations according to road, rail, air, and maritime profiles
- Static and dynamic compression tests
- Repeated impact and mechanical fatigue tests
- Validation of internal cushioning and damping systems
METROPACK adapts its test protocols to the real conditions of your logistics chain, whether terrestrial, aerial, or maritime.
SECURE TRANSPORT VALIDATION
Transport simulation validates the complete shipping procedure for your sensitive products, from initial packaging to final delivery. Each mode of transport presents specific constraints that must be anticipated and controlled.
METROPACK offers comprehensive test protocols according to international standards:
- ISTA tests adapted to high-value products (series 3, 6, and custom profiles)
- ASTM D4169 protocols with enhanced assurance levels
- Multi-modal simulations (road, rail, air, sea)
- Multiple handling resistance tests
- Validation of secure palletization procedures
Our teams support you in choosing the most suitable protocol for your operational and regulatory constraints.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION
Sensitive products are often subject to strict regulations regarding packaging and transport. Compliance with these requirements is essential to guarantee the legality and safety of your shipments.
METROPACK assists you in validating the compliance of your packaging:
- Tests according to international transport regulations (ADR, IATA, IMDG for specific materials)
- UN certification for packaging meeting hazard criteria
- Validation according to military and governmental standards (MIL-STD, DEF-STAN)
- Documentary compliance audits
- Regulatory support for international markets
Our COFRAC accreditation and ISO certifications guarantee international recognition of our test results.
SPECIFIC MATERIALS EXPERTISE
Packaging for sensitive products uses advanced technical materials: ballistic composites, memory foam, multi-layer metallized films, anti-static or shielded materials. Each material must be precisely characterized.
METROPACK has state-of-the-art equipment to analyze:
- Mechanical properties of composite and multi-layer materials
- Puncture and tear resistance
- Barrier properties (moisture, gas, light, radiation)
- Chemical compatibility with the contained product
- Performance of specialized cushioning and damping systems
SUPPORT AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidentiality is at the heart of our approach. METROPACK is committed to protecting all information relating to your products, processes, and test results. Our teams sign non-disclosure agreements adapted to the highest security levels.
Our approach includes:
- Enhanced confidentiality protocols and customizable NDAs
- Secure test areas with controlled access
- Complete traceability and secure data archiving
- Option for client-witnessed testing only
- Analysis of test elements in a dedicated area for clients guaranteeing confidentiality.
- Test reports with adjustable confidentiality level
Trust, impartiality, and confidentiality form the foundation of our business. METROPACK puts its expertise and responsiveness at the service of your most demanding projects.
