What is the drop test standard?

The drop test standard defines the procedures and conditions for testing the durability of packaging by simulating drops or impacts during handling and transportation. It ensures that packages can withstand shocks without damaging the product inside. By following recognized drop test standards, manufacturers can evaluate the strength and resilience of their packaging materials and designs. This helps reduce product damage, minimize returns, and improve customer satisfaction. Drop test standards vary depending on the industry and product type but typically specify drop height, orientation, and number of drops. Adhering to these standards is essential for quality control and compliance with shipping regulations.
