Studies show that up to 4% of all transported goods are damaged (source: KULeuven). The cause is often the transport packaging. These damages represent major economic losses throughout the different branches of industry. Transport damage generates not only waste, but also damage to image.

ESTL performs packaging tests in a scientific and pragmatic way to achieve a good balance. We help our customers guarantee stability by optimizing their packaging process (e.g. testing wrapping film, packaging machine settings, creating stacking schemes, 'primary' and 'secondary' packaging concepts...).
