Packaging protects your product from structural or environmental damage .Whether it is ships in a cardboard box, a crate or a custom-designed case – either domestically or internationally --we need to ensure the packaging meets requirements to avoid damage during transit.
During the process of transporting, storing and even handling, a package is exposed to a variety of stresses during its lifetime. It is vital that the used packaging materials manage these stresses during the whole lifecycle.
Hence, a wide variety of packaging related tests is indeed necessary to ensure that the package is well created and produced. These tests could be performed on paper, paperboard, corrugated board and plastic materials and many other various types of textile. These tests simulate the real stresses to which the materials and packages are exposed in the packaging lifecycle.
At the same time, it ensures the security of the construction and the durability of the materials chosen. Once the packages are tested, it is determined that the packages are ready to face all kinds of possible situations or scenarios happened during the use of it.
Examples of packaging tests and their functions available in the logistical industry are:
· Compression testing – Assess the warehousing stacking and load
· Shock testing – Assess handling, drop and impact
· Vibration testing – Assess transportation vibration
· Sealing test– Assess the optimization of the parameters
· Dropping – Assess the ability to withstand the impact from the drop
· Puncture testing – Assess the durability of the package
· Interlayer adhesion tests –Assess the adhesion between different materials
· Atmosphere testing- Assess the environmental effects (temperature, humidity pressure)
The following videos show how some of the common package testing are conducted.
