PTI Global Production Lab
Accelerate from package concept to full-scale production while reducing waste, cost and time. Our Production Lab is a global hub for limited-scope product development to test designs and materials and finetune prototypes. Go into production with a quality-assured design.
We Set the Standards, Worldwide
PTI’s Production Lab delivers the technical expertise to guide you through the package design and development process. We’re known for our U.S. and Swiss packaging performance testing labs that set globally recognized industry benchmarks and are accredited by APR, EPBP and RecyClass. Our proprietary prototyping and performance testing capabilities will get you to market on budget with a product that elevates your brand.
We have a test for that — actually, more than 50 in categories covering testing for plastics materials, perform and bottles, package and film permeation, and ISBT and special protocols.

A Plastics Sustainability Authority
Sustainability is an integral part of plastic package design and production at PTI. We advocate for effectively integrating recyclable materials into plastic packaging, specializing in recycled PET (rPET) and design for recyclability to maximize the packaging lifecycle. This is why everyday household brands consult with our technical experts and enlist in PTI as a partner to help them achieve sustainability goals.
APR, EPBP and RecyClass depend on PTI global labs for sustainability testing that sets standards.
