PackSight

PackSight, powered by Spec Right

An online test planning and reporting platform for ISTA test procedures.

ISTA's PackSight, powered by Specright is transforming the way packaging testing is performed through a new online planning and reporting platform for ISTA test procedures. PackSight is a secure, cloud-based, global, mobile, and web access workflow tool with a central data repository for ISTA testing.

Simply select a test procedure, enter your test package's weight and dimensions, and PackSight provides a streamlined, step-by-step workflow specific to the test item. You can use a computer or mobile device to collect testing in real-time or print off the workflow. Once testing is complete, reports are auto-generated and stored in a secure cloud environment, making results accessible anywhere, anytime.

Select, Collect and Analyze ISTA Protocol

Labs can now select, collect and analyze test reports within PackSight, creating efficiencies and visibility for stakeholders across the supply chain.

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.

The PackSight online platform allows users to easily input packaging information, quickly select test protocols, and generate test paths in minutes. Users can start a new test or pick up where they left off with a test already in progress.

Demonstration of test selection

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.In the step-by-step version, users are walked through the test protocol, and given helpful tips and before-you-begin information for eachtest block. In the short test plan, users see a streamlined view of the test blocks, which hides the information they already know, and allows them to quickly and efficiently complete a test on a single screen.

Demonstration of results collection

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 and brands 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 comparetests 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?

Demonstration of test analysis

Auto-Generate Test Reports

One of the major benefits of PackSight automatic report generation, which previously took 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, as long as the user has an internet connection.

Benefits and Features of Digital Testing Protocol

Easy test planning

Save time with short or step-by-step test planning. PackSight quickly generates a package-product specific test path allowing you to move through the test procedures without double checking protocols.

Accuracy, consistency & confidence

PackSight guides you through the most current versions of the test procedures, preventing mistakes. Start a new test or pick up where your team left off with a test already in progress.

Reporting

PackSight lets you say goodbye to the hassle of manual test reporting. Run reports with the click of a button.

Security & scalability

PackSight leverages Specrights best-in-class security capabilities to ensure data is safeguarded. Through a combination of technol-ogy and user permissions, labs can rest assured that the right data is accessed by the right people.

PackSight is built on the Specright Specification Data Management platform, which was built for enterprise companies to manage hundreds of thousands of data points related to packaging and products. As a result, PackSight can easily perform and store tests without a lag in performance. Both companies will also work to continuously release new PackSight features to benefit members.

Technology and Expertise

In creating PackSight, ISTA and Specright combined over 100 years of packaging expertise and leading technology innovations. The result is a platform built by packaging professionals, for packaging professionals.
