Package designers and engineers are accustomed to dealing with hazards that can damage their packages such as top load stacking forces and more dynamic handling and transportation events like drop impact and vibration. New challenges are being added to this list as the use of shrink-wrapped caseless secondary packaging, primary package light weighting, and other packaging material reduction and substitution activities continue to accelerate.
ALOE Group, in collaboration Stress Engineering Services has developed several physics-based, nonlinear modeling, simulation and test methods to predict the response of packages to a variety of primary and secondary loads. This approach eliminates much of the traditional trial and error development by providing information about the performance of packaging systems earlier in the design process, often before physical samples are available. The reductions in risk, cost, and speed to market that result can be significant.
We recognized a long time ago that there is a lot of value in approaching packaging performance with a strong grounding in the underlying physics. The methods that have evolved utilize a combination of our extensive analytical expertise, classical mechanics computations, and advanced computer-based simulation techniques. By applying this approach, our engineers can systematically examine the behavior of packaging systems.
We are continually developing new test and simulation methods in support of unit load performance analysis. In the field or in the lab, our engineers and technicians have conducted a wide variety of test procedures on primary and secondary packaging for evaluating structural response under various manufacturing line, shipping, distribution, storage, and handling loads. Our experience in packaging design and analysis, coupled with our extensive data acquisition skills and advanced instrumentation capabilities allows us to provide the most reliable solutions.
