Importance of Packaging in Product Quality Assurance

For any product, the first impression is very important, and Packaging of the products possess the impression whether it will be good or bad. Manufacturers and suppliers of the products should never overlook the packaging factor. The importance of product packaging is multi-faceted and can go a long way in securing a good first impression and brand loyalty. For this reason, the manufacturers of packaging need to ensure that they test the quality of the packaging boxes using proper testing instruments such as Box Compression Tester.

Packaging is an inevitable aspect for any products such as food products, beverages, cosmetics, electronics, and so forth. When you buy a product, its packaging has the impression of the quality of the products. Packaging of any products is mainly responsible for providing best level of safety to the products during shipment.

Out of many forces acting upon the packaging containers such as corrugated box, compression force is the main risks applied at the time of distribution cycle. It is important to ensure best strength of the containers through efficient corrugated box strength testing to check how efficient is the packaging against the kinds of loads are applied to these boxes. As corrugated boxes and cartons are popular and widely used choice for shipping and storage, compression test of cartons helps manufacturers and suppliers to check the durability and strength of the packaging material.

Compression testis an efficient testing method is used to test the load a box can bear on its top before it gets deformed and the extent to which it gets deformed. The test also helps to get an idea of how many boxes can be stacked together without damaging the contents inside it.

The instrument is a widely used tool in packaging industry to test the strength and quality of the packaging containers of cardboard boxes. As the products that are packaged inside the boxes undergo lot of forces throughout the transportation, there is chance that the integrity of the products may get damaged.

The instrument is made up of rigid mild steel sections and plates. The lower plate is used to fix the box for the testing procedure. The box is kept over this platform and pressed down from top with the help of another plate. The upper plate is moved down with the help of screw arrangement. This platen is pivoted so that it can tilt to align its lower face with the top of the package if the top and bottom faces of the package are not parallel. The compression tester is available in two models i.e., computerised model and Digital Model.
