Packaging optimization
You have problems with ...
… increased material consumption
… securing your load units
… regular transport damage
Packaging must be as individual as the products and transport routes for which it is designed.
Only through professional analysis of all relevant factors – from product shape to distribution logistics – can packaging solutions be developed that are safe, economical, and sustainable.
At the DUO LAB Technology Center, we combine state-of-the-art testing technologies with many years of experience. We draw on a broad network of freight forwarders, retailers, experts, logistics centers, and testing institutes.
Our goal:
Efficient packaging concepts that reliably protect your products, enhance transport safety, and at the same time save material and costs. With realistic transport simulations and detailed packaging tests, we develop customized solutions for your entire supply chain – from pallet to shelf.
Packaging Testing & Optimization at the DUO LAB Technology Center
At our Technology Center (DUO LAB), everything revolves around practical packaging tests, load unit securing, and packaging optimization. Our aim: to get your products to their destination safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulations – with tailored tests and sound advice.
Our services are based on realistic transport simulations and are aimed at companies that want to improve packaging safety, reduce material costs, and meet legal requirements.
Your Benefits at a Glance:
- Test packaging under real conditions: for maximum product safety
- Efficient use of materials: less is more – less film and lower costs with higher or at least consistent transport security
- Secure loads: with optional EUMOS certificate as proof
- Reliable test reports: for customer requirements, audits, and authorities
Whether flush-packed pallets, unstable loads, irregularly shaped goods, or products with overhang – we test how your packaging behaves under real transport conditions.
The goal is to optimally secure your load and measurably increase transport safety.
We also take into account industry-specific requirements for packaging and pallet securing – for example, in the beverage industry, construction and wood sectors, paper and chemical industries, retail, or food production. Our tests help you comply with legal requirements and avoid complaints.
Sustainable and economic benefits with maximum safety
Do you want packaging that optimally protects your goods from external forces? Our packaging tests include
- Accelerations
- braking
- cornering
- Unevenness and loads during transportation by truck, rail, ship or plane
We also test the forces acting on the material during the handling process. Real climatic conditions can also be simulated.
Are you still looking for the optimum packaging and load unit securing for your distribution process or do you have problems with the transportation of goods? Together we will find the optimum solution for you so that your goods arrive at their destination undamaged!

Working together to optimise your packaging process
Do you need support with your packaging process? We offer you a comprehensive service, and of course we customise it to your needs and specific conditions. You not only save resources, but also valuable time.
Benefit from our expertise in the areas of (sustainable) film production, packaging machines and testing processes as well as optimisation of your individual load unit securing!
With us, packaging optimization is done right
A minimum of material and raw material for a maximum of safety. In our workshop, we include all relevant aspects in our optimization analysis. In our technology center, we can subject your individual load unit to meaningful load tests and carry out simulations in order to precisely identify the strengths and weaknesses of your packaging process. We test according to recognized procedures and can therefore issue reliable test certificates for individual load securing concepts that are also valid in court.
We support you with our comprehensive expertise throughout the entire packaging process, for greater safety during logistics – from the production facility to the point of sale.
Workshop on packaging and load unit securing
Why are only around 60% of loads correctly secured?
Is it due to a lack of time or a lack of awareness of the consequences of inadequate load securing? Take part in our seminar on load unit securing and experience at first hand how acceleration, cornering etc. affect load units.
Our excellent seminar didactics, the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in packaging development guarantee sustainable and long-term learning results that go far beyond the theoretical teaching of legal requirements.
Learn how to secure goods in a legally compliant and effective manner in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Control Regulation and recognized norms and standards such as DIN EN 17321, EUMOS 40509 or ISTA 3B.
By teaching optimal packaging techniques and load securing processes.
Testing of own loading units in the test center is possible by prior arrangement and coordination (climate chamber, vibration table, horizontal acceleration sled).
If interested, the video evaluations and documentation can be made available afterwards.
