Check Environmental Effect on Packaging Material

Corrugated boxes are in huge demand due to the tremendous growth in the past few years. The e-commerce industry has increased the shipping demands but several factors demand reliable cardboard boxes. As more and more items find their way into cardboard boxes for storing and shipping, manufacturers must design efficient and cost-effective packaging. Understanding the humidity of the environment is important for the manufacturers so that the moisture and the cardboard do not mix.

Determine the moisture content in the cardboard material is crucial as too much moisture can damage packaging and have a major impact on corrugated packings to bear the compressive loads. Packaging failure causes damage to the products which need to be handled by the manufacturers.

The use of environmental factors to determine corrugated packaging strength is an important factor. To bear top to bottom compressive loads in different environments can be tested using appropriate equipment. A packaging atmospheric conditioning test assesses its ability to bear various worst-case environmental conditions and retain integrity throughout. Packaging is made in materials that are prone to be negatively affected by changing environmental conditions. Therefore, to test the strength and durability of packaging, it must be placed inside the environmental chamber and must be exposed to different temperatures and humidity for a certain time.

Humidity is the most important factor that changes the properties of the material when exposed to extreme temperature. Therefore, manufacturers are taking the necessary steps to minimize the effect of humidity. In packaging industry, manufacturers deal with the adhesive strength problem due to humidity factor.

Humidity testing determines the behaviour of the components in a fluctuating environment, high temperature and relative humidity. The packaging material can be tested with uniform temperature and humidity in a static state and can be done in a dynamic state where the moisture is used to induce a failure of the components.

Humidity chambers are built with the most recent innovation highlights to make diverse humidity and temperature inside the chamber. The chambers guarantee quality testing of products to its customers, the manufacturers must test the impact of extreme conditions on the physical properties of the material.

Pacorr offers best humidity chambers used to test the quality of packaging materials and the amount of compressive strength, the corrugated materials can with stand. It can be useful in a various industrial environment that is filled with high humidity and temperature changing rapidly. The instrument adheres to an international standard of testing quality.
