WHERE TRANSIT DAMAGE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP

DURING TRANSIT

Boards shift, stack pressure builds, and vibration accumulates over hours or days of transport. None of this is visible from outside the carton.

HIDDEN UNTIL UNPACKED

The damage isn't always a clean break. A hairline crack or a shifted component can pass a visual check and still fail later.

AT THЕ CUSTOMER'S END

The carton looks fine on arrival. The damage is only found once it's opened and the component is tested.

Common Questions

Q: Which drop-test standards are most relevant to electronics transit packaging?

A: ASTM D4169 and ISTA 3A (for parcel delivery) are the industry-standard protocols. They simulate vertical drops, rotational impacts, loose-load vibration, and environmental conditioning to ensure custom ESD trays and shock-absorbing outer boxes withstand transport forces.

Q: How do you measure vibration damage inside container boxes during shipping?

A: We use multi-axis impact recorders and digital data loggers attached to test shipments. These record tri-axial acceleration (G-forces) and vibration frequencies (Hz) in transit, which are mapped against ASTM PSD (Power Spectral Density) profiles during design verification.
