Check Printing Quality of Packaging Materials Using Scuff Resistance Tester

Scuffing creates a major problem during the transit of products, faced by the paper and printed materials extensively. The reason is rubbing of two similar surfaces against each other. Due to scuffing, the defacing of the surface is caused along with abrasion. Manufacturers of packaging material face this kind of problem as the packaging materials are printed and go through scuffing during transportation and storage. Therefore, the manufacturers must test the scuff resistance that is offered by the packaging materials so that they could ensure the best safety and efficiency of the packaging. These printed labels, plastic films, and other similar materials can be tested for scuff resistance using the Rub resistance test procedure.

The consistency of a printed label plays an important role in any packaging label. The manufacturers of different industries such as pharmaceuticals must ensure that the printing on the labels of their products is resistant to the abrasion caused during transit and storage. The Printed labels play an important role to the appearance of the products and it gives the information about the products. The manufacturers conduct various tests to check the effect of abrasion on the quality of printing that is done on the product labels and packages. The testing can be achieved using scuff resistance tester.

The quality of the paper depends on the scuffing resistance and the type of material is used. The scuffing of the paper leads to deteriorated surface by making the material useless for various purposes such as printing. The scuff tester helps evaluates the maximum amount of scuffing force that the material can bear until it becomes useless.

The Scuff Resistance Tester uses rotational motion to rub two pieces of the test sample against each other with additional weight on them.  This causes scuffing between the sample. Once the test cycle is completed, the sample is taken for evaluation of the extent of scuffing faced by them.

Pacorr is the manufacturers and supplier of scuff resistance tester which is ideal for use in packaging industries for testing the scuffing of printed materials. The instrument adheres to ASTM standard for scuff tests and is highly accurate for the manufacturers of packaging material. Low maintenance is required for the instrument along with automatic buzzer provided with the instrument. The test result appears on the digital display unit gives the actual number of strokes distorting the surface of the material being tested. This helps manufacturers to get the actual number of rubbing strokes required to deface the sample material and hence get better quality of materials.
