Packaging
Whether it is to optimize the quality of your packaging, ensure its performance during transport or comply with standards, LNE supports you with a wide range of services: testing, certification, training, etc.
LNE offers a wide range of tests for your packaging, regardless of its nature or use.
- Permeability tests of materials, packaging and industrial products: to qualify or evaluate the performance of your packaging in the field of gas or water vapor transfer phenomena.
- Evaluation of the reliability, lifespan and behaviour over time of materials and systems: to design your new products. (in french)
- Transport simulation tests: to develop high-performance packaging, LNE offers transport simulation testing and expertise services.
- Medical Device Packaging Validation: to demonstrate the performance of your medical device packaging and in particular the maintenance of its sterility according to ISO 11607-1 when it comes to sterile barrier systems.
- Vibration, shock and constant acceleration tests: to evaluate the mechanical behavior of products under normal or severe conditions.
Whether it is with the aim of having the conformity of your packaging with national or international standards recognised by an independent third party, or to guarantee its health safety, LNE issues brands and certifications for food manufacturers and mass retailers:
- LNE Emballage mark: to guarantee the quality of your single, double or triple flute cardboard packaging.
- BRCGS/Packaging Certification: global standard for packaging and packaging materials.
- FEFCO/ESBO certification: International Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Corrugated and Solid Board Packaging.
- "Incorporation of Recycled Plastics" certification: to demonstrate your commitment to the environmental approach for a massive decarbonization of industrial activity as well as a reduction in the use of non-renewable natural resources
LNE also issues NF marks for the following products:
- NF Packaging: for healthcare waste with infectious and perforating risks (DASRI)
- NF Freezer Bags (in french only)
- NF rolling or selective collection waste containers
- NF Waste Bags / NF Environment Waste Bags
Food Contact / Migration
Your materials and packaging are in contact with food. There are several approaches you can use to ensure the regulatory compliance needed to use/market them. LNE supports you with technical support, laboratory measurement and modelling
For
- Identify the regulatory requirements applicable to your products;
- Verify the relevance and completeness of the documentation provided by your suppliers;
- Get help in preparing written declarations of compliance communicated to your customers;
- To be supported in developing safer materials, objects and packaging.
LNE offers you:
- Reviews of documentation provided by suppliers of materials or finished articles
- Tips for writing your written declarations of compliance
- Reviews of the composition or formulation of materials
- Research and development of new methods and new concepts to optimize your products (measurements, improvement of properties, new materials, new characteristics, etc.)

Compositional analysis for:
- Search for NIAS and Neoformed
- Track the evolution of your material over time for quality control
- Compare materials to highlight a change in formulation
- Look for changes in chemical composition that alter physico-chemical and mechanical properties, etc.
LNE offers you the opportunity to identify and quantify substances present in materials by multi-technique analysis of organic substances (GC/FID, GC/MS, HSGC/MS, HPLC/UV, NMR, FTIR spectrometry) or inorganic chemistry (ICP, ICP/MS, X-ray fluorescence).
Substance migration analysis for:
- Verify compliance with the permitted limits of migration in foodstuffs.
LNE offers to measure the migration of substances under the conditions provided for by the regulations with different simulants of foodstuffs (distilled water, ethanol 10%, ethanol 20%, ethanol 50%, vegetable oils, isooctane, ethanol 95%, MPPO and other simulants).
Permeability of materials for:
- Obtain data to assess the shelf life of foodstuffs.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEEDS
For:
- Predict the migration of a substance throughout the supply chain to verify the regulatory compliance of your products.
- Identify a critical substance, material, step, or design.
- Improve food safety by optimizing your product design.
LNE offers you calculation tools to model material transfers based on the properties of substances (diffusion coefficient and partition coefficient), the characteristics of materials and objects (thickness of materials, concentration of substances in materials, density of materials, volume of objects), characteristics of foodstuffs (volume and density) and contact and use conditions (surface area, temperature and contact time).
Do you have a project or a problem? Would you like to be accompanied?
LNE participates in numerous research projects in the field of food contact
