Veripac™

ASTM Test Method

VeriPac inspection systems evaluate and analyze package integrity with precision and repeatability. VeriPac systems can be easily integrated into the packaging process to improve quality, reduce waste, and provide operators with a clearer understanding of package quality. Test systems are non-destructive, non-invasive and require no sample preparation. Test fixtures are designed to inspect flexible, rigid and semi-rigid packaging. Tests can be performed in any sequence and even repeatedly on a single sample. Good packages can be returned undamaged to the packaging line. VeriPac’s inspection method is more reliable, cost effective and efficient than destructive methods, plus it eliminates subjective, misleading results that vary from operator to operator.

VeriPac inspection systems utilize an ASTM approved vacuum decay leak test method recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing. (ASTM F2338 www.astm.org) This ASTM method was developed using VeriPac leak test instruments and has proven its capabilities under GMP regulatory guidelines. VeriPac’s non-destructive technology is capable of detecting package leaks and invisible defects using an absolute or differential pressure transducer leak test system. Test components are optimized according to the type of package being tested and the level of sensitivity required. VeriPac leak testers are designed to inspect flexible, rigid and semi-rigid packaging including Tyvek® trays.

PTI's VeriPac line of package integrity leak test systems are available in several configurations according to package specifications and test sensitivity requirements. Packages can be flexible, semi-rigid or rigid:
