State-of-the-art test center in Limassol. Multiple test methods covering pallet stability, stretch film quality, containment force, strapping, and tape noise. Reporting governed by EUMOS 40509 and DIN EN 12195-1.

01 · Test center

State-of-the-art
in Limassol.

Our state-of-the-art test center in Limassol is the institutional memory of the producer network. Every new gauge, formulation, supplier, and SKU is run through it before it enters a distributor pricelist. Multiple test methods, calibrated equipment, and a documented procedure for every result.

The point of the center is not to certify the supplier. The point is to defend the spec. When a distributor briefs us on a load profile, the answer comes back grounded in instrumented runs across several disciplines, not in a brochure.

What the
center runs.

  • Pallet stability Calibrated acceleration sled. Replicates the dynamic loads a wrapped pallet sees in transit on regulated routes. Pass / caution / fail captured with the acceleration trace.
  • Stretch film quality Puncture, cling, maximum stretch, and unwind force tested per gauge and per supplier batch. The four numbers a load relies on, instrumented and recorded.
  • Containment force Containment-force tool measuring the actual pressure applied to a pallet by the tertiary packaging in real time. Translates wrap pattern and pre-stretch into the force the load is securing under.
  • Strapping quality Break-load, elongation, and retained-tension testing for PET and PP strap. Measured against the load profile the strap is specified for.
  • Tape noise check Unwind noise tested for tapes destined to operations where audibility matters. Quiet unwind specified, instrumented, and signed off.
  • Reporting frame EUMOS 40509 for load stability and DIN EN 12195-1 for road securing forces. Referenced because they govern how the center works, not as a marketing badge.

Every spec we put on a distributor pricelist has run the rig. The result files against the distributor account, with the acceleration trace and the instrumented values from each method. The audit trail is the deliverable, not a single PDF.

From sample
to certificate.

  1. 01 · SampleDistributor or buyer submits a sample roll or supplier batch. Logged, photographed, and weighed.
  2. 02 · BuildReference pallet built to the load profile under test. Wrap applied at the prescribed pre-stretch and overlap. Strap and tape applied per the brief.
  3. 03 · RunSled accelerated to the target profile. Containment force, puncture, cling, unwind, and noise measured under load. Run repeated under witness if reproduction is required.
  4. 04 · ReportResult filed against the distributor account. Pass, caution, or fail captured with the acceleration trace and instrumented values from each test method.
  5. 05 · AuditProducer batches re-tested on cycle. Calibration cross-checked between procurement-office samples and Limassol output to keep the producer network honest.
Reproducibility Where a distributor needs an audited reproduction of a result for their own customer’s pallet-securement protocol, the test is repeated under witness and the output is filed against their account. The audit trail is the deliverable, not a single PDF.
