Compatibility Services

Once you've identified the right packaging option, Vivid Packaging will help you navigate the complex process of determining compatibility between your packaging and your product. This critical step in the process ensures that the packaging material you've selected is suitable and safe to use with your product.

Vivid will work with you to make sure that the appropriate product compatibility testing is done, including:

  • Product and liner testing
  • Closure testing
  • Drop tests
  • Fill tests
  • Torque tests
  • Hazardous materials testing

If you choose, Vivid can send your product and packaging components out to independent testing labs to complete product compatibility testing, or we would be happy to provide free samples of all components in reasonable quantities to allow you to oversee testing.

Not all packaging is appropriate for all products. The chart below is a simple guidline that can help you match your products to a resin that will provide the characteristics your packaging requires.
