Technological consultancy

We help you upgrade your packaging designs to meet contemporary market and stakeholder needs and consumer perceptions. We engage in the whole process from the idea, design and validation to final implementation by analysing:

• Materials
• Barrier properties
• Labels
• Inks and adhesives
• Additional components (zips, caps, valves)
• Recycled material content
• Product shelf-life
• Consumer perception
• Costs and its manufacturing process

We are familiar with changes in product transport and the key approaches required to meet the challenges posed by omnichannel distribution, the rise of e-commerce and the requirements of goods transport and environmental legislation as part of the circular economy.

We harness all this knowledge and our proprietary methods to help you achieve the optimal packaging system that works and doesn’t misfire in your transport chain by addressing issues including:

• Eco-design of your packaging system
• Finding more sustainable materials
• Advice and validation of your new developments
• Identifying the source and resolution of transport incidents
• Packaging SKU standardisation

At ITENE we undertake studies into the shelf-life of various types of products such as food and cosmetics to validate materials developed as part of innovation or R&D projects and also compare different types of materials during the selection or modification stages of packaging conditions or materials.

We use custom methods including aspects such as:

• Studying the product’s performance and degradation mechanisms.
• Ensuring the product is packaged using the specified packaging and packing conditions.
• Monitoring critical shelf-life parameters based on the main physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic product degradation mechanisms.

Royal Decree 563/17, which makes European Directive 2014/47 on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Union part of Spanish law, sets out special requirements to ensure the safety, stability and proper stowage of goods and lays down new responsibilities for both shippers and carriers. Failure to comply with them entails penalties and even immobilisation of the vehicle if serious and dangerous irregularities are found.

ITENE provides specialised external support to enable compliance with the responsibilities stipulated under legislation and avoid the penalties and costs derived from infringements through:

• Assessment of the current state of compliance.
• Establishing protocols for proper implementation of Royal Decree 563/17 specifications.
• Drawing up the documents required, endorsed by ITENE, for any inspection carried out by the authorities.
• Validation of load units by means of tests as per the EUMOS 40509:2012 standard (Test method for load unit rigidity)
• Staff training to ensure goods are stowed appropriately.
