Benefit from our expertise in certified packaging solutions.
As we have our own ISTA-certified laboratory, you can get all transit-relevant test statistics directly from the manufacturer. This ensures product protection, cost savings and customer satisfaction. As a full-service provider, we also carry out transit tests on composite packaging comprising corrugated board and molded fiber. We are also certified to carry out the Amazon transit tests (6-AMAZON.com-SIOC type A validation test) – this makes us unique within Austria.
Entrust the ISTA certifications to us and save time and effort. We guarantee certified performance of the testing for your packaging solution.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification demonstrates our commitment to quality and efficiency in manufacturing first-class packaging solutions. ISO 9001:2015 is the official mark attesting to Flatz’s reliability as the foundation for customer satisfaction.
The ISO 22000:2018 certification for our molded fiber packaging safeguards the highest food safety standards so we can protect your products from any contamination and boost consumer confidence.
Packaging that features the FSC seal demonstrates our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable forestry because we use responsibly sourced materials in our corrugated board and molded fiber.
Our in-house ISTA laboratory carries out all the standard transit tests: Climate tests, humidity test, vibration and impact tests as well as drop tests. This guarantees that your packaged goods will be transported safely.
The ISTA processes are designed to test the durability and protection of packaged products during transportation. In the Flatz ISTA laboratories, we simulate various conditions that may occur during transit; these include impacts, vibrations, pressure, or changes in climate.
The aim is to ensure that the products pass through the supply chain unscathed – to minimize any transport damage and increase the level of customer satisfaction.
Meet the high standards that many shipping agents like Amazon demand. We will be happy to carry out the 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC type A validation test on your behalf.

The non-simulation-based performance testing challenges the robustness of the product and packaging combination. This is useful as a screening test, but is not designed to simulate environmental influences.
Series 2 tests are partial simulation performance tests which, in addition to Series 1 (Non-Simulation Tests), also comprise at least one element of Series 3 (General Simulation Tests). For example, they may comprise atmospheric conditioning or random vibration.
Series 3 are general simulation tests that are designed to allow simulation of the damage-producing motions, forces, conditions, and sequences of transport environments. Their features include different drop heights, random vibrations or atmospheric conditions such as wet tropical conditions or winter.
The performance test for members. Developed to reflect supply chain elements of Global 500 retailers or carriers. (Example of Amazon) The tests may be completely original or may be modifications or variations of ISTA procedures or projects or other published and accepted tests.
ISTA Series 7 tests are used in the development of transport packages by comparing the relative performance of two or more container designs. But they are not intended to evaluate the protection given to the packaged products.
The ISTA certification guarantees that our packaging has undergone strict tests to ensure the safety and integrity of products during transportation. This is crucial for minimizing damage and ensuring customer satisfaction.
We carry out a wide range of ISTA tests, including 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1G, 1H, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3F, 3L-Small, 3L-A, 3L-B, 3L-D, 3L-G, 3L-H, 6-AMAZON.com-Over Boxing, 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC Type A, 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC Type B, 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC Type D, 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC Type G, 6-AMAZON.com-SIOC Type H, 6-FedEx-A, 6-SAMSCLUB, 7D
ISTA Series 1: Non-Simulation Tests
The non-simulation-based performance testing challenges the robustness of the product and packaging combination. This is useful as a screening test, but is not designed to simulate environmental influences.
ISTA Series 2: Partial Simulation Tests
Series 2 tests are partial simulation performance tests which, in addition to Series 1 (Non-Simulation Tests), also comprise at least one element of Series 3 (General Simulation Tests). For example, they may comprise atmospheric conditioning or random vibration.
ISTA Series 3: General Simulation Tests
Series 3 are general simulation tests that are designed to allow simulation of the damage-producing motions, forces, conditions, and sequences of transport environments. Their features include different drop heights, random vibrations or atmospheric conditions such as wet tropical conditions or winter.
ISTA Series 6: Member Performance Tests
The performance test for members. Developed to reflect supply chain elements of Global 500 retailers or carriers. (Example of Amazon) The tests may be completely original or may be modifications or variations of ISTA procedures or projects or other published and accepted tests.
ISTA Series 7: Development Tests
ISTA Series 7 tests are used in the development of transport packages by comparing the relative performance of two or more container designs. But they are not intended to evaluate the protection given to the packaged products.
Products that are shipped in ISTA-tested packaging benefit from increased safety during transport, which results in less damage, fewer returns and costs associated with this, and also boosts brand loyalty.
Although not all products require ISTA certification, many large retailers and e-commerce platforms like Amazon demand it to reduce the level of damage to products and improve the level of customer satisfaction.
When you choose our ISTA-compliant packaging tests, you can rest assured that your packaging solutions have been designed perfectly to meet the strict ISTA standards for safe transit.
ISTA Series I comprises non-simulation integrity tests that test the robustness of the packaging, while ISTA Series 3 offers more extensive simulation tests that replicate various transit environments.
If packaging fails the ISTA test, we offer detailed analyses and recommendations on how to improve the packaging solution to meet the standards.
Packaging should be retested whenever there is a significant change to the design or content or if there are any changes in the supply chain or mode of transport.
Hängt von den Anforderungen ab: Isolierend mit Transportschutz, Mehrweg mit einfachem Handling, hoher Transportschutz und doch leicht und natürlich auch die Optik. Geht alles, fragen Sie uns einfach.
