Packaging Material Testing

Inappropriate packaging materials can result in costly damage and tarnish a brand’s reputation. Failure to comply with regulations triggers major consequences.  

SGS Polymer Solutions provides packaging analysis and testing to ensure that your packaging is fit for purpose.  Packaging technology is complex because the packaging material needs to have appropriate characteristics, including mechanical and chemical properties. Testing is needed to establish that the product is functioning as specified and meets regulatory requirements for safety. We have a suite of in-house test capabilities that we utilize regularly to meet the needs of our packaging clients, including:

  • Extractables and leachables testing
  • Food contact testing
  • Competitor product deformulation and comparative analysis
  • Delamination and film adhesion analysis
  • Film layer analysis watch our video
  • Elemental composition of film layers
  • Identification and composition determination of particles contained within films

We’re experienced across multiple product categories, and commonly provide packaging analysis and testing on medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, consumer products, cosmetics, and pet products.  Here is a list of some of the materials we’ve worked with:
