TAPPI Testing
Micom offers a wide range of TAPPI testing services on corrugated board. As an active ISTA Micom strives to offer its customers the most comprehensive array of test services related to package testing; this is the reason why we also offer TAPPI testing. Testing to the TAPPI standards helps our customers investigate field failures they have to contend with. Distribution is a complex environment and it is not always easy to decipher whether the problem lies with the carrier, the packaging method, a “weak” content or sub-standard packaging materials. This is where having TAPPI testing services at hand comes in as a powerful source of information to ensure that your corrugate performance is what its specifications claim.
