Trace Can Save You Money On Shipping– posted 6.8.10

PALATINE, IL - Trace Laboratories, Inc., a full-service, internationally accredited, independent testing organization, can help slash your shipping costs by certifying your packaging to the requirements of the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA). This certification, recognized by all commercial carriers, verifies that your package design is adequate to survive typical transportation environments. Proof of compliance to these standards makes your shipment eligible for reduced insurance rates, and gives you more confidence that your product will reach the intended destination undamaged, reducing field returns and warranty claims, while saving money.

The ISTA performance tests conducted at Trace Labs are intended to simulate different aspects of the shipping process such as handling, dropping, stacking, and various transportation environments. Trace Laboratories is accredited to conduct ISTA Series 1A, 1B, 1E, 1G and 1H and has all of the necessary drop testers, shock machines and electrodynamic vibration shaker equipment to support the ISTA testing requirements. Our expert staff will provide the appropriate test plan for your application, considering variables such as the dimensions, fragility, and weight of the package.

An ISTA report from Trace Laboratories can be submitted to your local shipping account representative to receive the shipping insurance discount. To get started on reducing your shipping costs, or for more information about our broad range of capabilities, please contact us at:
