The manufacturer of the product is a member of the ISTA shipper type so that the shipping test certification mark can be obtained and printed on the packaging of the package being inspected. And ISTA will send the shipper a letter of certification.
The transportation test certification mark on the package can directly prove to the transporter and customer that a certain package has passed the industry-recognized pre-transportation laboratory test, and ISTA has reviewed the test report results and conducted the safety transportation certification of the package within the designated damage range.
