It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure that packaging is tested and validated for use throughout the handling, distribution, and storage environments. The package must be able to withstand the typical events associated with distribution without product defect or loss of sterility. 
 

Many manufacturers find the package testing and validation process complicated and confusing.  Via its PackAdvice and PackReview service pledges, DDL is committed to providing customers with a stress-free package testing and validation procedure.

The DDL package validation process involves four easy steps:

• DDL provides pre-testing consultation to outline procedure
• Customer submits package samples for testing
• DDL performs a variety of tests on the packaging to judge its ability to protect the product and its compliance to ISO standards and ASTM standards.
• DDL issues a report detailing test results and corrective actions to be taken (if applicable)
