Film and Flexible Packaging Materials

Characterization

Film and flexible polymer packaging material science and

characterization

Intertek customers see the benefits of our expertise in testing film and
polymer packaging; understand physical and mechanical properties, gain a
greater understanding of barrier properties.
 

Durability

Assess the ability of film and packaging materials to withstand wear,

pressure and damage.
