Virtual Simulation of ISTA Unit Load Tests
Advanced finite element analysis (FEA) techniques are making it possible to perform “virtual” computer simulations of standard industry unit load tests. These methods allow transportation and warehouse stacking performance of unitized loads to be studied earlier in the package development process, before physical samples are available, with commensurate reductions in risk, cost, and speed to market.
Rethinking Polypropylene
There are indications that polypropylene’s (PP) multi-decade reign as the polymer with the lowest material cost per cubic inch is ending. Seismic changes in energy markets and their derivative products over the past decade are now combining to structurally alter the market dynamics of PP. As a result, many products and packages made from PP may need to reconsider whether it remains the best material for the application.
