Ensure The Quality Of Packaging With Drop Tester And Box Compression Tester

 When it comes to packaging, abiding by the ASTM and ISO standards for packaging becomes integral for manufacturers. It does not come by choice but by necessity.  

A product can survive long overseas freights, cargos or air travels because of the way it is packed. So, it becomes imperative for manufacturers to perform thorough testing under standard conditions to test the quality, which is directly attributed to drop endurance through drop tester and pressure endurance through box compression tester. Package testing is mandatory to survive extreme cruelty on the boxes while they are loaded/unloaded amongst the other piles of the boxes. Therefore, quality checks and compliance with ISO norms on packaging starts at the manufacturing stage. 

What Is A Drop Tester?

Drop tester allows you to check the package’s endurance against falling from pre-determined heights and orientations. As it could be disastrous to presume that your package is ready to take a load of extremities (without any tests), you need to be sure by letting the package go through certain tests proving its integrity. Drop tester is your saviour here. 

Measuring The Maximum Drop Height from different orientations.

  

With the series of drops, the drop tester simulates the pressure that a cartoon usually goes through while travelling the distribution cycle. The data then reveals the intensity of the rough handling that the box can withstand without any damage to the inside product. The importers/exporters, manufacturers and suppliers concerned with the packaging quality must employ the drop tester in their pre-dispatch plans. The test is appropriate for standard-sized cardboard and corrugated boxes. 

What Is A Compression Box Tester?

Assuming the quality of the package and skipping the tests is another way to jeopardize the product inside. Which in turn could jeopardize a brand’s integrity in the market. 

Compression tests are used to ensure the strength of a box against its capability to withstand pressure before deforming. During the test, the specimen is exposed to pressure in the compression box tester to stimulate pressure that the box might face while being stuffed under the piles of other boxes. The tester demonstrates how much the package can become deformed during loading. 

Cardboard with multiple layers of fluting is comparatively stronger than the ones without. But a specimen going through a box compression tester is a surefire mark of assurance whether it will resist the pressure or not. The compression box tester gives you real data on whether the package is load and travel protected or not.
