The LaunchPad Lab

Where packaging ideas get put to the test.

Repulpability Testing Inside the Lab

The LaunchPad Lab is Detpak’s hub for research and development, validation, and science-backed product testing. Sitting at the centre of Detpak’s innovation ecosystem, the Lab ensures packaging solutions are fit for purpose, compliant with industry requirements, and aligned with evolving sustainability expectations.

Working across a diverse range of packaging categories, our team evaluates raw materials, finished goods, and emerging packaging technologies through rigorous testing and analysis. Additionally, we support Detmold Medical with in-house quality and compliance-based testing of facemasks. By combining scientific expertise with practical industry knowledge, we can turn innovative ideas into packaging solutions that perform in the real world.

APCO-ENDORSED LABS IN AUSTRALIA


What We Do

From recyclability testing to real-world performance assessment, explore both sides of the Lab.

Repulpability Testing

One of Australia's only APCO-endorsed repulpability testing services. We assess how effectively fibre-based packaging can be broken down and recovered during paper recycling, providing verified evidence to support your recyclability claims.

Inside the Lab

From tensile strength to how a coffee cup handles alternative milks. Discover how our team combines controlled bench testing with real-world performance simulation to give packaging decisions the evidence they need.
