FedEx Packaging Design and Development Lab

It is all in the packaging

Getting your package to its destination on time is one of the many reasons you choose to ship with FedEx. You may not know the great lengths we go to help improve the design and durability of your packaging.

At the FedEx Packaging Design and Development department, our team provides two primary services for FedEx Express shippers: package testing and customized package solutions.

Package Testing

If you have concerns about the durability of your custom packaging, you can submit it for testing. The testing process takes between four to seven business days and is offered to FedEx customers free of charge.

Each package is tested for manual and mechanical handling. The tests determine if packages are likely to withstand the transport and handling stress created by sorting machines, plane mechanical systems and road conditions.

To pass, your package must successfully go through three rounds of testing:

  1. The drop test
    To demonstrate that a package can withstand shock, it must pass a drop test. If the package fails this first test, it is sent back to the shipper without going through any more testing.
  2. The compression test
    This test determines if your packaging will hold up under the pressure of other package loads.
  3. The vibration test
    We simulate the conditions of a truck and air travel environments to ensure your package will hold up when in transit.

Customized Package Solutions

On average, our Packaging Design and Development team creates 120 design solutions a year. We are proud to have been involved in creating some key packaging solutions that have been adopted as industry standards. Some of our successes include:

  • Packaging for the flower industry that adjusts for varying seedling heights.
  • Protective, cushioned packages for shipping laptop computers.

For more information, you can direct your inquiry in English via electronic mail to pkgfield@mail.fedex.com. If you would like to have your packaging tested, complete our Packaging Services Application.

Testing Request Guidelines
