Materials, Testing, & Technology

• Product Protection Test Book

  • This is a Hewlett-Packard public manual intended as a guide for packaging professionals. It provides detailed information to aid selection of the most effective product/package tests and test levels. It will further guide companies in planning and managing package development and testing for new products so they can survive the distribution environment. (versions available English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese)
