Transport simulation and testing

Testing packaging under realistic transport conditions reveals weak spots before they lead to costly damage. At the Topa Institute, we simulate the full shipping environment.
Available testing methods:
- Acceleration bench
Simulates braking and turning forces during transit. - Drop tester
Measures how packaging responds to drops and impacts during handling. - Shock bench
Tests the packaging’s resistance to sudden impacts caused by vibrations and transport movement. - Compression tester
Measures the maximum load a box or pallet can withstand before collapsing. - Vibration table
Simulates transport vibrations to assess how well the load stays in place during shipping. - Climate chambers
Assess how temperature and humidity affect packaging materials over time. - Low-pressure chamber
Simulates pressure changes that occur during air transport
Our specialists analyse your pallet loads and optimise every step of the process. Less damage, less waste, lower costs, that’s our promise. Want tailored advice? Call +31 252 245 200 or email info@topa.nl.
Less damage
Proper stacking, safe pallet height and tested packaging ensure stability and protect your products during transport.
Less material
Using the right film and machine settings can reduce film usage by up to 50%. Smart stabilisation techniques eliminate the need for excess materials.
Lower CO2 emissions
Using less film and avoiding overpackaging directly reduces your carbon footprint. Every optimisation makes a difference.
Lower costs
Fewer damaged goods mean fewer returns, less rework, and lower packaging costs. Smart packaging pays off across the entire supply chain.
