Package stability
  • Packaging must be sufficiently durable to make it possible to lift the package held by its sides without any items contained therein falling out. A package may not contain heavier goods than the package can hold.
  • Packages will be stacked on top of each other, so their sides must be rigid to withstand the pressure without collapsing from the weight 4–5 times greater than their own weight.
  • Packaging must protect the items against damages as a result of turning, shaking or pushing the package or dropping the package from the height of not more than 1 m, and temperature ranges of 25–40°C.
