Six people, one bench, a lot of failed samples
Starter site started in 2019 when two packaging engineers got tired of watching good material decisions get made on a supplier's sales deck. We answer every message within one working day. Most projects start with a one-hour call.
The honest answer is often that your packaging is fine and the problem is three steps upstream. We would rather say that and lose the project.

Why independence is the whole product
Every material has a supplier who will tell you it works. What is scarce is someone with no stake in which one you choose. We are paid for the assessment, not the outcome, and we publish our test methods so you can argue with them.
