The packaging industry is an ever-evolving field, and the packaging materials like corrugated boxes, are highly used to deliver products accurately to customers. Packaging plays a key role in the way we transport and preserve items. If the boxes are not properly packed, then it will lead to damage to their contents. However, with this increased complexity comes a higher risk of issues, we at Presto have designed high-quality packaging testing instruments that will help the paper & packaging manufacturers to reduce product errors and ensure that quality material will be delivered to the customers.

By conducting quality tests on products before they are sent out into the market, manufacturers can easily reduce their product rejection rates and pass all necessary quality audits. In this blog, we’ll explore what these packaging tests entail and different packaging testing instruments manufacturers can use in 2023, to ensure guaranteed accurate products. So, let us get started!

What is the need of testing packaging products?

It is essential to test packaging products before they are used to ensure that they are fit for purpose and will not cause any harm to the items they are intended to protect. Testing can identify issues such as poor seals, weak materials, or sharp edges that could damage the contents of the package. Thus, by testing the products efficiently, one can reduce potential errors present in the product and ensure that their products are strong enough and will not get damaged while shipping and transportation.

While testing the products efficiently, it is important for the manufacturers to ensure that all quality parameters should be taken into account. You can read more on the different quality parameters of packaging materials that should be taken into account to ensure quality packaging.

Now, let us discuss how you can easily test different parameters of packaging products by testing them with the help of Presto paper and packaging testing instruments.

Top 3 paper and packaging testing instruments that you must use in 2023

Testing packaging products is an essential part of ensuring the safe and reliable transport and storage of goods. With the right testing procedures in place, businesses can ensure that their products are secure throughout the supply chain. By doing so, companies can avoid costly recalls and protect both their customers’ safety and reputations. You can ensure the strength of packaging materials by testing with Presto quality packaging testing instruments.

Below we have listed the top 3 paper and packaging materials that you must use to ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers:

  • Box compression tester: We all know that compressed boxes will not only affect the quality of your product but will also lead to the loss of customers. Thus, it is important for the paper and packaging manufacturers to conduct box compression tests on the materials and ensure that the boxes will not get damaged while stacked upon each other. This quality lab testing instrument has been made in accordance with industrial standards that include ASTM D642, ASTM D4169, TAPPI T804, ISO 12048, and JIS Z0212. Besides this, it has been designed with high-end features that make it easy for paper & packaging manufacturers to conduct box compression tests on the materials. Features of this high- quality lab testing equipment include:
  • Microprocessor based display for accurate test results
  • Highly accurate test results under uniform compression Force
  • TARE and Peak Hold Facility Available
  • Over travel protection
  • Strong base plate with a rugged structure
  • Bright LED display
  • Feather touch controls
  • Available in Computerized model also
  • Available in various platform sizes and Load Cell Capacity
  • Optional Printer Facility

This lab testing instrument will help in overcoming the packaging challenges and ensure that quality products will be delivered.

  • Bursting strength tester: The bursting strength is another major factor that needed to be taken care of while delivering products to the customers. If the materials like cardboard, boxes, and paper boards will get burst easily then it will lead to damage to the product and ultimately lead to loss of your customers. The digital bursting strength tester designed by the experts at Presto will help the manufacturers to test the bursting strength of materials accurately and ensure that quality products will be delivered.  The bursting strength will be considered to be the strongest quality factor for corrugated boxes. Below we have listed the features of this high-quality lab testing equipment:
  • Microprocessor based display for accurate test results
  • Highly accurate test results under uniform compression Force
  • TARE and Peak Hold Facility Available
  • Over travel protection
  • Strong base plate with a rugged structure
  • Bright LED display
  • Feather touch controls
  • Available in Computerized model also
  • Available in various platform sizes and Load Cell Capacity
  • Optional Printer Facility

By conducting a bursting strength test of the materials, one can easily ensure the bursting strength of the materials.

  • Edge crush tester: Another major factor that needed to be taken care of while depicting the quality of materials, delivered is edge crush strength. You can easily determine the edge-wise compression strength of boxes by using the Presto edge crush tester. This high-quality lab testing instrument is based on the microprocessor display and determines the accurate compression strength of the materials. With its strong gripping clamps one can place the specimen accurately and with its bright LED display, one can easily view the testing results of the specimen with ease. You can easily test the edge crush strength of boxes with the help of this quality lab testing equipment. Below we have listed the features of this quality lab testing instrument.
  • Simple and accurate readout on a digital display
  • Electronic Force measurement by the Load
  • Key lock prevents accidental or unauthorized resetting
  • Electromechanical Loading System
  • Sophisticated Electronic Controls for precision and easy operation
  • Competence with PeakHold
  • Microprocessor based display for accurate test results
  • Separate fixtures for ring crush, edge crush, and flat crush test
  • Highly accurate test results under a compression force
  • Strong gripping clamps.
  • Bright LED display
  • Inbuilt calibration facility
  • Feather touch controls

By using this quality lab testing equipment, one can easily perform edge-wise compression strength of the material and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers.
