Laboratory tests
ICMC has a Packaging and Packing Laboratory that specialises in paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard packages. The tests help determine the various physical and mechanical properties of the products and therefore their quality. These projects are developed under UNE/ISO standards. Besides providing services to companies demanding them, they also support research projects conducted in our centre.
