We successfully replicated Cerebos’ new filling process in-house, and tested a range of label material options – quickly identifying that the existing material would not be suitable. The two top performers in our replicated lab tests were fit-for-purpose alternatives and looked great after application. Both options were recommended to Cerebos and production trials were undertaken which validated our test results.

Let’s take a deeper look at what happened in the lab during that week…

1. Our team of experienced technologists devised a formal test method to simulate the new filling process.
2. A selection of new materials were identified that we considered best suited to the new application. The existing material construction was also to be included in the testing.
3. Physical label samples of each material construction were cut out via our digital die-cutting machine.
4. Replicates of each material were then applied to sample containers supplied by our client.
5. ‘Before’ photos were taken of each container prior to filling.
6. Our simulation of the new filling process was successful and the testing procedure was replicated several times until we had a credible result.
7. Photos were taken to document the effect of the replicated trial process.
8. A comprehensive test report was compiled for discussion with Cerebos.
