Every time a New package is being developed similar problems have to be fac
ed These problems involve material and supplier choice, pack requirements,
manufacturing performance of the pack, etc. This paper describes a study of
the influence of material properties on the top load strength of a tub for
frozen products. Additionally, several numerical simulations have been car
ried out in order to find general guidelines for new packaging developments
