Packaging Technologist
Campden BRI supports food & drink manufacturers by rigorously testing their packaging to ensure product quality, safety, and maintenance. Packaging must retain its strength and integrity, have the correct physicochemical characteristics to protect and preserve products, and not adversely affect the product by interacting and causing taints or loss of quality.
Campden BRI has a range of packaging analysis and testing facilities and can conduct a broad range of packaging investigations, including microscopic and chemical testing. We ask, is the packaging fit for purpose? Different types of packaging are used for different reasons.
