UN Testing at Global-Pak
UN Testing Bulk Bags
Global-Pak has in house UN Testing for FIBCs at our Lisbon, Ohio headquarters, so we are able to test UN Bags we manufacture at and spot test any imported bags. We invested in the necessary UN Testing equipment to perform each test correctly and ensure all UN Bulk Bags meet the safety requirements.
Our team can test all UN Rated bulk bags at on our testing equipment and we are able to spot test bags for our customers or check if issues arise with a UN Bag. To see our testing capabilities in action, click play on the below video:
