Packaging materials are in high demand in a variety of industries. The packaging of a product has a significant impact on quality and appearance. The packaging handles the best guarantee of quality, safety and freshness of the product packed in the packaging. For the best protection of the product during transport and storage, it is essential to ensure that the best quality of packaging materials are used for the packaging of the products.
Manufacturers must test the materials and products produced by them for better quality. There are many different testing procedures that must be run on packaging materials to ensure the best quality. These are some of the quality assurance tests that are widely used in the packaging industries.
Friction coefficient test
The coefficient of friction is the property of a material that makes it oppose any movement in it. The exact determination of the resistance offered by a packaging material is very necessary to decide the safety factor during storage and transport. The coefficient of friction tester is an ideal instrument that provides an accurate measure of the friction offered by a packaging product.
Box compression test
The compressive strength of the packing box is an essential attribute that must be tested to decide the suitability of a material for certain working conditions. The box compression tester is an ideal testing instrument that helps to determine the compressive strength of the box under specific loads.
Dart Impact Test
The dart impact test is used to determine the impact resistance of a dart in free fall. The test procedure is carried out by exerting a variable effect on the plastic films from a dart that falls freely from different heights. It is used to determine the minimum amount of force that is required for the film to fail under different load conditions. For this test procedure, a dart impact tester is used for high precision and accuracy.
Opacity test
The opacity tester is used to test the opacity of a packaging material such as labels, etc. With the appropriate opacity of the packaging materials, the coating of the materials such as inks, etc. it becomes very inferior. The opacity tester is a digital instrument used to accurately study the opacity of packaging materials. Apart from these tests, there are also many other tests that must be performed to ensure the best quality of the packaging materials. These tests include burst strength, puncture resistance test, wear test, drop test, cob size test, etc.
