Your assurance of a stringent, scientific approach

When flaws in a company’s supply chain lead to costly breakage and significant losses, the first reflex is often to try to correct the issues using in-house resources.

Unfortunately, this trial-and-error approach has numerous disadvantages:

• Blind testing without a reliable methodology
• Limited available expertise
• Lack of awareness about possible solutions
• Low testing capacity
• Mobilization of resources and equipment usually devoted to production
• Testing on actual shipments, which also generates real risks in the marketplace
• No guaranteed results

The cartier approach

In contrast to the trial-and-error approach, our scientific, International Safe Transit Association (ISTA)-certified approach offers numerous advantages:

• Implementation of a methodology in accordance with strict protocols for reliable results
• Engineers and technicians dedicated to packaging optimization
• Tests conducted in a controlled environment that recreates actual conditions without risk of customer dissatisfaction
• Zero impact on your operations
