Optimization of packaged products: Application of ISTA protocols in E-commerce

ISTA protocols, essential in the industrial packaging field, aim to standardize e-commerce processes. These standards, based on in-depth studies, ensure the safe and efficient handling of packaged products, from their departure from the distribution chain to delivery to the consumer.

ISTA 3L: Test for E-commerce packaging

The ISTA 3L test is specifically designed for products packaged in e-commerce, providing a detailed simulation of real transport and handling conditions. Suitable for various product types, this test evaluates criteria such as shipping method, handling at fulfillment centers, package weight, and category.

Nine product categories: From small to H per ISTA

ISTA tests classify packaged products into nine categories, from Small to H, based on their specificities. Each category undergoes tests for shock resistance, vibrations, and other transport and handling-related stresses in distribution centers.

Performance evaluation: Shock, vibration, and more tests

ISTA packaging tests include simulations of climatic conditions, drop tests, vibration tests, leakage tests, as well as compression tests. These rigorous procedures are crucial for assessing the effectiveness of packaging in facing the logistical challenges of transportation and storage.

FAQ on the application of ISTA protocols in E-commerce

ISTA protocols play a crucial role in industrial packaging for e-commerce. They aim to standardize the processes of handling and transporting packaged products, ensuring safe and efficient handling from the distribution chain to delivery to the consumer.
