Packaging Expert Witnesses

Packaging experts are from a variety of industries. They are knowledgeable in protecting goods, and labels and warnings. There are many types of packaging depending on the particular product and industry. Whether it is for cargo and shipping, engineering and medical devices, chemicals, plastics, industrial materials, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, or other manufacturing industries. The type of packaging used also depends on whether it is being utilized for storage, retail goods, reusability, or shipping.

The packaging industry consists of several branches and various types of machinery. Packaging requirements are designed to meet the needs to protect and display particular products. The process of materials handling and transportation are important factors in the packaging design.

Packaging-related lawsuits may develop over several different scenarios, including cases of faulty packaging resulting in leaks or contamination, which is especially relevant in packages containing hazardous chemicals or similar types of materials. Litigation can also stem from packages that are not labelled or do not have warnings in line with the industry standards. Other cases includes stolen packages due to a lapse in security during transport, safety-related issues within a packaging plant, or broken merchandise as a result of improper packaging for a particular product. Intellectual property and copyright laws also apply to packaging designs, the violation of which may lead to claims of intellectual theft and issues regarding patents.

There are many types of complex cases that might require the expertise of a packaging expert. Submit an expert request form or call the professionals at ForensisGroup today to locate the most reputable packaging expert witness for your case.
