Digitize Paper Package Testing For Quick And Reliable Results

Digitization and technology have given us a lot of ease and the pulp and paper industry is not alien to this revolution. 

We live in an era where the pulp and paper industry is thriving, especially when it comes to packaged goods. All thanks to the highly embraced e-commerce culture, the demand for paper-laden packaging is skyrocketing. From international freights to domestic supplies, paper-based packaging is used in abundance. To be noted, the demand for paper and paperboard packaging is invariably deriving from FMCG, electronics, service sectors, pharma, and ready-to-eat food. 

With steady growth forecasted for the next decade, the packaging industry is seeing a gradual shift towards sustainable packaging driven by demand for lightweight and portable products. Such technological innovations raise the bar for maintaining quality control standards. It is imperative for industry players to understand their product characteristics, performance, and reliability to make a better decision as it reaches the hand of the end-user.

But how do we do that? 

..by optimizing lab testing processes through precise testing equipment for more relevant results. 

Paper and paperboard quality testing is as tedious as it is important when left to a few human hands. Relying vividly on manual testing fails to give us the efficiency that we want. There is comparatively a high probability of inaccuracy in data. Plus, it keeps on adding to the time, effort and cost. The only viable solution is to install a digital paper testing apparatus. 

Installing package testing equipment is in every way better than traditional assessment units as it not only fetches 100% accurate results it also reduces human involvement for tedious tasks. The workforce thereon can be channelized to other segments of progress. 

No Compromise On Quality

While product security is still a primary factor, appeal and marketing are also important when it comes to paper packaging. 

Product packaging is everything for a business. Along with security, paper packaging is about presentation and marketing too. Bad paper quality impacts all these three parameters equally. Today, not only do brands care about the quality of what’s inside, they are concerned with how it has been shipped/carried, and presented. Plus, e-commerce brands are aware of the saying “first impression is the last impression”. Thus, impressive packaging starts right from the elementary level - paper package testing followed by the production of quality paper-based packaging. 

Mechanism For Quick And Efficient Results

Digitalization helps to divide and conquer. With high-end package testing solutions, assessment units can easily derive real-time results with 100% reliance. When kept on a pedestal, technology has always given more efficient results and even faster than manual testing results. 

The major goal of installing package testing equipment is to thoroughly analyze the paper packaging based on its strength, weight, compression, puncture resistance, climate conditioning, etc. To qualify and validate all the parameters there is a dedicated machine, the compilation of all concludes a package testing apparatus. Quality testing leads the paper and paperboard production on the right path.    

The major stems of paper packaging testing apparatus are vibrating machines and accessories, impact testing machines, stability testing machines, pressure & compression testing machines, and drop testers. Every paper mill needs customized paper assessment solutions, some go steep with their paper testing processes, others take baby steps by organizing, advancing, and partially digitizing their testing modules.
