How and Why We Test Our Products

Quality Tested, Customer Approved

Every Calyx container and package is a part of our Product Testing Ecosystem, developed to validate, monitor, and improve each batch of product. Our unique series of novel, standardized testing methods allows us to keep a pulse on performance and provide you with the best package every time. This Ecosystem utilizes rigorous studies by Gold Standard laboratories and continuously checks against these results using rapid, in-house tests.

Performance is in our DNA so quality can be in yours.

Proven by Process. Validated by Testing.

First Article Inspection

Before full production begins, every Calyx container goes through a First Article Inspection (FAI). We measure critical dimensions, review visual finish, and confirm part-to-part consistency against engineering specifications. This ensures every mold and material batch is dialed in for performance before it ever hits your supply chain.

Mechanical Testing

From vacuum pressure simulating air freight to torque resistance and lid retention, we subject our packaging to intense mechanical stress. This confirms our child-resistant systems and seals hold strong across the full product journey, whether it's in a duffel bag or on a dispensary shelf.

Performance Testing

Calyx containers undergo lab-verified MVTR/OTR analysis, CR functionality testing, and terpene retention studies. These performance tests validate that every container not only protects your product but preserves potency, freshness, and compliance through every use.

Dimensional accuracy, visual quality, and fit—checked from the very first shot.

First Article Inspection

Visual Inspection

Dimensional Analysis
Precision Starts at the First Sample

Visual Inspection

We visually inspect each unit to ensure consistent quality, clarity, and flawless presentation before it leaves our facility.

Dimensional Analysis

We measure critical product components with high precision to ensure perfect fit and function with every assembly.

We simulate transport, torque, and tamper scenarios—so you don’t have to.

Built to Withstand Real-World Pressure

Leak Testing

Calyx products are put in extreme conditions to test product safety and containment in the harshest environments.

Vacuum Burst Testing

Calyx Containers are designed and tested to keep terpenes safe and resist internal pressures equivalent to a plane flying at 30,000 feet.

Lift Testing

Each Calyx container undergoes certified testing to verify it’s hard for children to open—yet easy and intuitive for adults. That’s safety by design.

Oxygen tight, shelf-life protection, and child-resistance—all proven by data.

Performance Testing

TVTR

Shelf Life

Tested to Perform Where It Matters Most

Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR)

We analyze the rate at which moisture effluxes from our containers to ensure the best seal performance and shelf life. 

Terpene Vapor Transmission Rate (TVTR)

Our tests emulate real world conditions to measure our containers’ ability to resist terpene degradation and keep your products fresh.

Shelf Life Testing

Using real cannabis products, we track single cannabinoid and terpene levels over time to optimize our containers’ internal environment for every product.
