The test centre is an excellent facility allowing any of Abco Kovex&#8217;s current and prospective customers to put their packaging through tests to prove its effectiveness. We also got to see displays of packaging equipment, sustainable packaging solutions and a taste of what&#8217;s up and coming in the sector. Thanks to Kevin Crothers and the team for hosting us<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #4c4c4b;\">In addition, we were given some excellent case studies on packaging testing by Tony Duffy (recently retired\u00a0 from CAFRE) and Orla O&#8217;Donnell of Resonate Testing. Some fascinating examples of challenging packaging testing being undertaken here and a great educational grounding on the subject. We never leave a TIPS event without learning something new.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementtoproof\" style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #4c4c4b;\">It was great to hear from our hosts and the attendees of the efforts being taken to ensure sustainability in our sector.
