Some of the proprietary testing services that we offer our clients include:

• Material identification
• Material testing e.g. adhesion, dispensing, moisture penetration
• Transportation simulation including wet and dry abrasion
• Direct thermal print durability and image quality testing
• Environmental resistance e.g. Light, Steam, Heat, Water, Weather
• Chemical resistance e.g. Oil, Plasticiser, Acid, Sea Water
• Establishing Laminate adhesion standards for Cold Pasteurisation
