First impressions mean everything. Whether it’s an aerospace product’s first exposure to conditions in outer space or a customer opening a beverage that is fresh off of a distribution truck, product behavior is critical. Exposure to environmental conditions – temperature, shock, humidity and moisture, vibration, dust, and more – affects product performance and customer satisfaction. To protect your profitability and reputation, a clear understanding of the capabilities and limits of your product and its packaging is essential.
