Advanced Resistance Testing for Industrial Packaging: A Strategic Investment by INNEPLA

Raising the Standards of Reusable Industrial Packaging

INNEPLA takes a new step forward in its growth and technological innovation journey with a strategic investment designed to further elevate industrial packaging performance and quality standards.

The introduction of a new advanced resistance testing press significantly strengthens the company’s internal technical capabilities and enhances the quality control system dedicated to the Packaging Business Unit.

This milestone translates into:

Greater control over structural performance

Faster product development cycles

Higher quality standards for reusable containers, hollow polypropylene boxes, and modular packaging systems

Structural Testing on Evo and Tapas Concept Containers and Hollow Polypropylene Boxes

The new press enables comprehensive in-house resistance testing for:

Reusable industrial containers Evo and Tapas Concept

Hollow polypropylene (PP) boxes

Testing procedures include:

Vertical compression tests

Structural crushing resistance tests

Static and dynamic load tests

Long-term stacking simulations

These advanced tests replicate real warehouse and logistics supply chain conditions, allowing precise and measurable verification of structural performance.

By simulating real-life handling, storage, and stacking scenarios, INNEPLA ensures that its reusable packaging solutions meet the highest durability and reliability standards required in industrial environments.

Faster Internal Testing, External Certification Always Guaranteed

Internal resistance testing does not replace verification and certification carried out by independent external bodies, which remain an essential part of INNEPLA’s validation process.

However, the new testing press allows the company to:

Accelerate prototype development

Optimize thickness, geometries, and structural configurations

Approach external certification tests with solutions already internally validated

This approach reduces development time while maintaining full compliance, certification standards, and product reliability.

Statement from Angelo Iozzolino, Head of Packaging Business Unit

“This investment represents a concrete evolution for our Packaging Business Unit.

Today we can independently test not only Evo and Tapas Concept containers, but also reusable polypropylene boxes — a rapidly growing market, particularly in light of the European PPWR regulation on packaging sustainability, which will enter into force next summer.

This allows us to immediately act on design variables and optimize solutions much faster.

Reaching external certification tests more quickly with products that are already engineered and internally validated — increasing efficiency, precision, and overall quality — will strengthen our competitiveness in the industrial packaging market.”

— Angelo Iozzolino, Head of Packaging BU, INNEPLA
