Rigid plastic packaging—such as bottles, containers, caps, trays, and tubs—plays a central role in sectors like food, beverages, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. Materials like PET, HDPE, PP, and PS must deliver on durability, shelf appeal, and protective function. These plastics need to maintain shape under pressure, resist stress cracking, and work seamlessly with automated filling and sealing equipment.
Beyond performance, there’s increasing pressure to integrate recycled content and meet sustainability goals—without compromising quality. That’s why understanding a material’s stress points, temperature behavior, and chemical resistance is crucial.
At Pack-Lab, we assist rigid plastic packaging manufacturers by evaluating the final properties of their materials and ensuring compliance with food and cosmetics safety requirements. Our lab tests physical, mechanical, and barrier attributes to confirm packaging meets the needs of both the supply chain and final consumers. Whether addressing performance concerns or developing new packaging, our expertise ensures your materials hold up—technically and legally.
