PackSight, Powered by Specright

PackSight was designed to digitize ISTA packaging performance testing data, enabling users to conduct tests accurately and efficiently. PackSight follows the same foundational belief Specright was built on: that data enables our users to make amazing things, from development, to testing, to launch.

ISTA & Specright: The People Behind PackSight

ISTA had a goal to modernize packaging testing, prompting a search for a partner who not only had extensive technology expertise, but a deep understanding of packaging as well. Enter, Specright.

Select, Collect and Analyze ISTA Packaging Protocols with PackSight
PackSight is transforming the way packaging testing is performed. Labs can select, collect and analyze test reports within PackSight, creating efficiencies and visibility for stakeholders across the supply chain.
  • Select 
    Feel confident knowing the right test has been selected
  • Collect
    Quickly and easily perform procedures once your test is selected
  • Analyze
    Auto-generate report based on inputs and documentation, all in one place

Select Test Paths

With PackSight, users can feel confident knowing they’ve selected the right test. Users simply enter basic package information and PackSight generates the right test path to perform.

With the rise of more complicated and nuanced test procedures such as 6-Amazon.com-SIOC or 6-SAMSCLUB, PackSight takes the guesswork out of packaging testing and reduces the time it takes to complete tests.

Collect Data

Once users select the right test, they can quickly and easily perform the procedures. Whether users are veteran testers or new to the process, they can select a step-by-step or short test plan to complete tests.

Given the variables across packaging labs setups, users can perform the tests in a variety of ways.

Analyze Testing Trends

With thousands of ISTA tests completed each year, there is a wealth of data on packaging performance. Previously, labs and brands had little visibility into test trends or results over time.

With PackSight, labs can pull data on tests and look at historical trends. No more searching through personal file folders or shared drives. Because PackSight captures data in a consistent, structured manner, it’s easy to compare tests as apples-to-apples even if they’re performed by different people. Users can easily pull data and reports to answer questions such as: why is a certain product type always failing?

Auto-Generate Test Reports

One of the major benefits of PackSight automatic report generation, which can take hours when done manually.

With PackSight, users can auto-generate reports within the platform based on their inputs and documentation. Within minutes, users can have a PDF or digital version of their test, stored within PackSight for historical tracking and reporting. Test results can be easily accessed on the go, via the internet.

Bringing the Future of Packaging Testing to the Classroom
With remote instruction becoming a reality over night, Michigan State University professor, Patrick McDavid, needed a solution to digitizing his packaging testing coursework. Enter ISTA PackSight, powered by Specright, one of the first the digital testing platforms. Learn how McDavid was able to deliver an educational experience closer to what students may face in industry, all on PackSight.
