International Safe Transit Association Certified Laboratory

How Compadre can help you:

Compadre is an ISTA certified laboratory that offers 3rd party packaging testing to customers. Your product packaging will be tested each time it goes through your distribution system to a customer. We strongly recommend that you first test your package design in a laboratory, called pre-shipment performance testing. Compadre will help you to determine testing pass/fail criteria, complete the testing, and deliver to you a professional ISTA test report document. Our standard turnaround time target for Receipt-to-Report is four working days with a simple credit card payment. Call Compadre today to discuss your packaging testing needs, a price quotation, and schedule.
