Universal Laboratory

Why Are We Considered Packaging Scientists?

Universal Pack runs all the tests on your product and laminate in its in-house laboratory. We have progressively built up this department over the years by making significant investments. Universal Pack Laboratory is at the core of project management and design review, as the whole engineering process is always backed up by scientific principles used to analyze key technical aspects. As a result of many years of experience,we are not only packaging experts, but also experienced packaging scientists. You can benefit from many advantages through a scientific approach to project management, such as:

• Rapid identification of critical aspects of the project;
• Better understanding of customer needs, based on scientific data about product and laminate;
• Reduced time to complete the project design.

What Tests Can We Run in Our Laboratory?

We analyze every product and laminate in our in-house laboratory. You can benefit from microbiological and microchemical tests, to better understand key aspects such as:

• Product specifications, available for different product types (powders and granules, viscous liquids, pastes, etc.)
• Laminate micro-characteristics, including dedicated scientific analysis for recyclable, compostable and more sustainable films.

Each test is customized according to product, laminate and production requirements.

Moreover, Universal Pack can be your partner in launching new products. We can test your product under development on our dosing systems and help you analyze its behavior during packaging operations. You can rely on our state-of-the-art stock machines, specifically-dedicated and built for development processes.

Following this direction, we can test the machinability of your laminates directly on our stock machines. For laminates, Universal Pack Laboratory is analyzing and testing a wide variety of recyclable, compostable and more sustainable laminates. In addition, we also develop new sustainable laminates in collaboration with multinational paper mills.

Our vision is to combine care for the planet with high-quality packaging operations.

Why Are Controlled Testing Rooms Important for Packaging Tests?

At its headquarters and manufacturing site, Universal Pack has created dedicated spaces and rooms dedicated to machine tests, wthat require an accurately controlled atmosphere. For this reason, we can set specific temperature, humidity and pressure levels in these controlled testing rooms. What are controlled testing rooms used for?

Many pharmaceutical powders and liquids need to be tested in white rooms, to support high-quality testing operations. For heat-sensitive or hygroscopic products, we run multiple tests, setting the temperature and humidity levels required by your product. Also, why does Universal Pack need white rooms?

Thanks to its extensive experience in the single-dose packaging sector with major pharmaceutical and food companies, Universal Pack specializes in solutions for the packaging of a wide range of sensitive products, which require dedicated rooms with a controlled atmosphere
