How to do ISTA 3A drop testing-JOEO drop tester
ISTA (International safe transit Associtation), the International Association for Safe Transportation, is the authoritative organization for international packaging and transportation. ISTA 3A drop testing is dedicated to the development, design and cost-benefit evaluation of protective transportation packaging to improve the rationality and safety of product transportation packaging to prevent or reduce product loss during transportation and storage.
ISTA 3A drop testing helps evaluate the durability and reliability of a product, and by simulating challenging drop situations in a laboratory environment, testers can observe and record how the product performs at different heights and angles. This helps determine if the packaging is able to provide adequate protection against damage to the product during transportation. Manufacturers can learn about the impact resistance of the product at different heights and angles, and whether its internal components and structures can withstand impact without damage.

Small package: weighs less than 10 pounds, has a volume of less than 800 cubic inches, and has a longest side of 14 inches or less.
Flat packaging: The shortest side is 8 inches or less, the second longest side is 4 times the shortest side, and the volume is 800 cubic inches or greater.
Extended package: The longest side of the package is 36 inches or more, and the other dimensions of the package are equal to 20% or less of the longest side.
Standard Package: Any package that weighs 150 pounds or less and does not meet the criteria listed in the first 3 package types.

Elongated type package
The JOEO drop tester can accurately drop to different surfaces from different heights and angles, and the test sample weight can reach 100-300kg, which can simulate the drop and impact resistance of large and heavy packaging products. Its powerful powertrain and unique sample clip facilitate loading and unloading of oversized and overweight items and automatically rise to Settings. After height measurement, the drop test is completed. It can realize the drop test of sample edge, surface and Angle. This drop tester is mainly used to evaluate the anti-drop ability of products or packaging during transportation and loading and unloading to improve product and packaging design.

What types of packaging does ISTA 3A drop testing?
Four types of packaging can be tested with ISTA 3A, and the test standard can be applied to small, flat, slender and standard packaging. These packaging categories are classified according to the following criteria:Small package: weighs less than 10 pounds, has a volume of less than 800 cubic inches, and has a longest side of 14 inches or less.
Flat packaging: The shortest side is 8 inches or less, the second longest side is 4 times the shortest side, and the volume is 800 cubic inches or greater.
Extended package: The longest side of the package is 36 inches or more, and the other dimensions of the package are equal to 20% or less of the longest side.
Standard Package: Any package that weighs 150 pounds or less and does not meet the criteria listed in the first 3 package types.
