Give your Products Stronger Packaging for Quality Assurance

When it comes to quality and strength of packaging materials, one of the most important factors is that the packaging materials have to bear a lot of different forces during different stages. This is why the manufacturers have to ensure that the packaging materials they are delivering to the industries have to be of best strength so that the safety of products inside the packaging could be ensured. The bursting strength and bursting factor are the major indicators of strength for any packaging material such as paper, cardboard boxes, and corrugated boxes. The bursting strength must be tested for every packaging material that is used for product. The bursting strength is the ability of a material to bear the high amount of bursting forces before rupture.

To test the bursting strength of the packaging material, an instrument called bursting strength tester is used. The manufacturers use the testing instrument to find the ability of packaging materials to survive the extreme conditions that they have to face during storage and transit. The instrument uses a hydraulic force to exert bursting force on the test specimen. Once the bursting strength of the specimen is calculated, the burst factor and burst index are calculated using a formula. The burst index and burst factors helps manufacturers of packaging materials to understand the quality of the materials and also it helps in deciding the cost of the materials as well.

Calculating bursting strength of a material helps in ensuring the best quality of the packaging materials and safety of the products during different stages.
