FARE Labs provides a detailed analysis of plastics, resins, paper, pulp, and other polymeric materials. Our testing laboratory capabilities include qualification and identification of polymer resins, paper, fillers, and additives to recognize their properties and characteristics.
FARE Labs also performs the testing of packaging material for food to ensure food safety and quality due to the rapid changes in the quantity, diversity, and mobility of food during the packaging of food materials.
The principal role of food packaging is to protect food products from outside influences and distribution damage, to contain the food, and to provide consumers with ingredient and nutritional information.
Packaging testing allows our customers to be sure that the packaging will hold up under the shipping and handling conditions they specify hence ensuring fit, performance, and viability.
