In the modern world where goods are shipped to every corner of the globe, ensuring that products reach customers intact is vital. That is why the ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) Standard was created and has become the trusted “gatekeeper” for shipping packaging.
What is ISTA?
ISTA is an international non-profit organization that develops standards for testing the durability of packaging. Instead of simply testing the product, ISTA focuses on simulating real-life transportation conditions such as drops, impacts, vibrations, temperature changes, pressure... to assess whether the packaging is capable of protecting the product throughout the logistics journey.
ISTA tests help businesses “foresee risks” and thereby design the most optimal packaging.
Why is ISTA important in the supply chain?
A good product may not reach the customer intact if the packaging does not meet the standards. Applying ISTA standards brings many practical benefits:
- Minimize product damage during transportation
- Save on logistics, return and warranty costs
- Increase brand reputation with partners and consumers
- Comply with strict requirements from major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart
Support businesses to access demanding export markets such as the EU, US, Japan.
