Our Process

Throughout the world, we’re known as the leading designer and builder of containers that maximize performance while minimizing costs. We carefully blend functionality, durability, and cost control into each solution. No matter the challenge, we have the designers, engineers, and testing expertise to improve performance and increase confidence. 

Our dedicated state-of-the-art, in-house testing facilities are staffed by leaders in the industry. Our I.S.T.A. and ASTM certified testing lab in Georgia is one of the country’s largest, offering large package testing for compression, incline and impact, rotary motion and vibration for products up to 50,000 lbs. Our I.S.T.A. package testing lab in Michigan is a state-of-the-art facility equipped to handle everything from large wood shipping crates and pallets to corrugated boxes and composite packaging solutions. At both facilities, professional engineers and packaging specialists test packaged products in a simulated distribution environment to ensure they meet the right hazard standards. In addition to ensuring the packaging is effective, our testing can be used as part of a design validation process that optimizes the packaging. If you change your packaging, our testing can validate your decisions before the new packaging is in the distribution system, avoiding costly product returns and embarrassing redesign failures. If your packaged product survives our simulated distribution environment, it is ready for the real world. 

 

As part of our commitment to exceptional quality and customer service, UFP Industrial has facilities that are ISO 9001 certified. The certification means these facilities can meet the necessary regulatory requirements because they have established processes that ensure effective resource management, consistent quality, efficiency, and thorough records management and analysis.
