Plastic packaging used for international shipping must withstand different environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations and high humidity during transportation and storage.
A Temperature & Humidity Test Chamber simulates these environmental conditions under controlled parameters to evaluate the durability and performance of packaging materials.
How the Test Works
• Samples are placed inside a controlled chamber
• Temperature and relative humidity are programmed according to test standards
• The chamber exposes the packaging to elevated temperature, high humidity, or cyclic conditions for a defined duration
• After exposure, the material is inspected for deformation, sealing integrity, strength degradation, or moisture effects
Common Test Standards
• ASTM D4332 – Conditioning containers and packaging for testing
• ASTM D4169 – Performance testing of shipping containers
• ISTA 3A – Transport simulation testing for packaged products
• ISO 2233 – Conditioning of packaging for testing
Why This Test Is Important
• Simulates real shipping environments (hot, cold, humid climates)
• Ensures packaging maintains strength and integrity during transport
• Prevents product damage caused by moisture or temperature stress
• Supports quality assurance for global distribution
This testing is critical for industries exporting products internationally where packaging must remain reliable throughout the logistics and transportation chain.
