Services / Testing Services
Testing services, to the standard.
Oxygen and water vapour transmission testing, package integrity, and MAP gas analysis, run in our laboratory to the ASTM methods named on this page.
Permeation
OTR and WVTR testing
We provide oxygen and water vapour transmission rate (OTR/WVTR) testing for both films and packages in accordance with ASTM D3985, F1927, F1307 and F1249 standards.
- Evaluate the permeability of films and barrier materials to ensure package integrity
- Verify performance when barrier materials or formulations change
- Qualify new materials or suppliers to confirm they meet your specifications
- Access fast, reliable testing when you do not have in-house lab capabilities
Package integrity
Seals and leaks, evaluated
Ensuring your packages maintain strength and remain leak-free is critical for product safety, shelf life and regulatory compliance. Our package integrity testing evaluates both the physical strength of seals and the presence of leaks.
| Seal strength | Method |
|---|---|
| Burst, open or closed, with restraining plates | ASTM F2054 |
| Burst, open or closed, without restraining plates | ASTM F2095 |
| Creep and creep-to-fail | ASTM F1140 |
| Leak detection | Method |
| Pressure decay | ASTM F2096 |
| Bubble method | ASTM D3078, ASTM F2096 |
| CO2 vacuum chamber emission test | Meyer laboratory |
MAP analysis
Oxygen and CO2 analysis for modified atmosphere packaging
Ensure optimal gas composition and barrier performance in MAP with precise oxygen and carbon dioxide analysis. These tests help maintain product quality, extend shelf life and verify packaging integrity.
Testing services are requested through the sample submission form. Tell us what you are packaging and we will confirm the method before you ship a sample.
