ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials) is one of the largest standard development organizations globally, creating thousands of test methods for various materials, including packaging materials. The organization sets precise standards for measuring the Physical Resistance of materials, such as Tear Resistance tests, Puncture Resistance tests, and Shipping Simulation tests. These standards are vital for manufacturers to ensure that their packaging can withstand the stresses of the supply chain, from production to reaching the consumer.
