What is ISTA?
ISTA stands for the “International Safe Transit Association”, a worldwide organization focused on developing standards, educational programs and tools for optimizing packaging solutions.
ISTA defines the testing protocols that must be performed to certify that different types of packaging can endure the foreseeable conditions they will encounter during transport. In so doing, ISTA has created a worldwide network of freight forwarders, shippers, manufacturers, test laboratories, and educational and research institutions to collaborate on maintaining, improving and updating protective packaging standards.
Why certify your packaging with ISTA?
1. Recently, Amazon has new requirements for packaging and transportation testing. For products sold on the Amazon platform, the products specified must complete the ISTA_Project_6 - Amazon.com - SIOC test and get the corresponding test report.
If the specified product fails to complete the test before July 31, 2019, Amazon will impose a fine of USD 1.99 on each retail package; if it is completed between September 17, 2018 and July 31, 2019, For the corresponding report, each retail package is awarded USD1.0.
The Amazon packaging and transportation test is divided into the following three levels, and according to different types of products, it is divided into type A~type H 8 different test plans:
Grade1- Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP)
Grade2- Ships in Own Container (SIOC)
Grade3- Prep-Free Packaging (PFP)
2. The ISTA certification ensures:
Visible proof of conformity of your packaging to internationally accepted test protocols as evidenced by the ISTA seal;
Faster time-to-market for a competitive advantage, given the accelerating growth of e-commerce;
That your product will be able to withstand shocks, vibrations, compression and extreme weather conditions as required by your specifications;
Increased customer satisfaction by improving your company’s brand reputation.
