BEACON CONTAINER TESTING LABORATORY

Beacon Container now has a Certified ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) Testing Facility. We are now able to test your corrugated containers for shipment integrity in our new Certified Laboratory. If we are able to damage your packaged product, we have done the job you asked us to do. If your packaged product passes... it has done the job you asked it to do. Either way, once your container has passed our ISTA testing standards, you can be comfortable in knowing that your packaging has "made the grade."

Key Benefits
