FedEx Packaging Lab
Our state-of-the-art facility offers package, freight, and material testing. Advanced packaging design services are also available to increase package durability and protection during transit.
Package testing helps protect against the high cost of damage.
By the time a product goes to market, you’ve invested significant time, talent, and resources to ensure its quality and performance. Testing your packaging not only protects that investment by ensuring products arrive undamaged, but also prevents you from incurring numerous costs, such as:
Replacements
Including products, boxes, and other shipping supplies
Shipping
Re-shipping for damaged product returns and replacement products
Warehouse/office labor
Time spent processing damaged product returns and replacement shipments
Customer experience
Potential loss of customer or decrease in customer lifetime value
Customer service labor
Time spent handling customer calls about damage
Environmental impact
Unnecessary material waste resulting from chronically damaged packaging
