We offer Customized Test Piece Creation typically in 24/48 hours.

Designing specifically to your requirements is our specialty. We will provide a quote for any custom test piece. All you need to do is tell us exactly what your requirements are. We take care of the rest.

We’ve manufactured everything from a 24ft “rope” to 6ft long test pieces to blocks, hexagons and 1/2″ x 3/16″ “pills” as well as a variety of sizes of cards. In addition, ask us about our custom bone simulate test pieces (check out the article about bone simulate here).

We believe we can meet any challenge your processing may require. We can also provide cards with multiple seeds. Laminate cards will accommodate up to 6 seeds, up to 4.0mm. Our thermoform version can hold nearly as many as you’d like in any size or variation of seeds/standards. Our largest card held 100 seeds on a 10″x 10″ card and was designed for bone detection in chicken.

And, for a nominal setup fee, we can put your name, contact information, and brand logo on the pieces.

At Regal Packaging Services, we understand that not all our customers have the same needs. Customers from different industries with different products and applications require testing to meet the demands of their unique situation. In these cases, we come up with customized pieces that are made according to the specifications of the customer.

Given this wide range of products and systems, your application may require a specific device to test your equipment. Our manufacturing process and the expertise of our team give us the ability to meet nearly every obstacle. You simply contact us, tell us exactly what kind of device you need, and we will make one for you. It is as simple as that!

This customization feature is one of the important aspects that separates us from our competition. Manufacturers of metal detectors usually do not offer customized test pieces. Most companies that make testing devices are limited to what they have on the shelf. Our service is unique! You can tell us what you need and we will make a customized product, and send it to you. If you are not fully satisfied, we can work with you to tweak the product again to make sure it meets your needs perfectly.
