Measure Compressive Force on Corrugated Boxes

Measure Compressive Force on Corrugated Boxes Using Box Compression Tester

Packaging of products must use the best quality packaging material as it is a significant part of giving the best safety and appearance to the products at the point when they are being stored or being shipped. For the manufacturers of packaging materials, it is important to ensure that they give the best quality of the materials to the customers so their products could stay protected and new for quite a while and might survive the rigorous and harsh transit process. To ensure that the packaging materials are sufficient of high quality, they should be tested for quality testing using proper testing instruments.

As packaging plays a significant role to ensure the safety of products during transit and storage. Boxes are stacked on one another that goes through compressive forces that cause breaking down of boxes. It is important to test the box compression strength of the corrugated boxes. The design of the box is a significant parameter for producing these boxes to ensure box compression strength.

The box compression strength is affected by the following factors:

• Whether products support the packaging or not 
• The structural design of the box incorporates size and measurements, supporting components in the box configuration, stacking direction and flap design 
• Types of secondary packaging 
• Storage, transport, and conditions like climatic condition, stacking, and so on 
• Material properties like compression strength and firmness
   

The Box compression value of a packaging box is one of the main properties that influence the quality and strength of the boxes. The manufacturers need to evaluate this property of the packaging boxes so that they could give the best quality to the customers. A box compression tester is an instrument that is utilized in the packaging industry to test the compressive strength of the corrugated, cardboard, and other packaging boxes.

Box Compression Tester is an extremely proficient instrument that is equipped to provide its customer with accurate testing results to users with an exceptionally high rate of repeatability. Here is the reason one opts for Pacorr's Box Compression Tester for testing the quality and strength of the packaging boxes.

A box compression tester is intended to evaluate the stacking and top load strength of boxes. The machine is available in two models digital, and the other is computerized. It estimates the compression strength in lbf, newton and kgf. The unit comes with travel security, TARE and P/H Peak hold facility
