However, packaging failures can affect more than just the stock inside them. In addition to the financial costs of packaging failures or damage, brand reputation and loss of sales is an important consideration and can have lasting consequences for any business.<\/p><p>We have investigated numerous cases involving packaging failures and have liaised with manufacturers and distributors to identify issues swiftly so that problems can been addressed and further loss of stock or subsequent damage can be minimised.<\/p><p>Damage to food packaging from poor materials selection can result in loss of integrity, soiling the contents and possibly cross contaminating other items. For example, corrosion of metal bottle tops on drinks, poor sealing of polymer edging and even personal injury from poorly made glass bottles.<\/p><p>We can investigate such failures by carrying out detailed inspections of the components and considering the design, manufacturing processes, storage environments and eventual use.<\/p><p>We use well established analytical techniques to discover whether a component was specified or manufactured as it should have been, or whether there are other contributory factors in order to provide options for recovery and to identify ongoing risks for consideration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column
