Tektronix brings certified package testing services to Chicago

New Tektronix Lab enables Chicago-area manufacturers to quickly and easily obtain critical package certifications.

Tektronix, Inc., a provider of test and measurement solutions, expanded its certified Amazon package testing services to its Chicago area lab, giving local manufacturers an easier, faster, and more cost-effective way to ensure package designs meet the requirements of Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging Program, the company says.

In 2019, Amazon will begin requiring that packaging for items in its fulfillment centers pass a physical performance test performed by members of the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS). Tektronix was one of the first members of the APASS network and received direction and training directly from Amazon, the company says.
