Corrugated boxes are one of the most versatile and durable packing materials available. They are made from layers of corrugated paper that are glued together to form a strong, sturdy material. When used properly, corrugated boxes can provide excellent protection for your belongings during storage or shipping. However, there are a few things you can do to ensure that your boxes are as durable as possible. The first one is to test the strength of boxes by considering factors like bursting strength, edge-wise compression strength, drop strength, and much more. Testing all these factors will help you to make sure that the right boxes are delivered to the customers. Here we will discuss how you can easily make sure that your corrugated boxes will be delivered without any damage by conducting these tests. But first, we will discuss a brief use of corrugated boxes in the packaging industry. So, let us get started!
Why you should test corrugated boxes before delivering?
Corrugated boxes are popular in the packaging industry because they are strong and effective. These boxes are strong and do not tear easily, making them ideal for packaging products. Due to all these factors, corrugated boxes are pretty popular in the packaging industry.
Boxes come in all shapes and sizes, but it's important to make sure that they're strong enough to protect their contents. That's why box testing is so important. By subjecting boxes to various quality tests, manufacturers can ensure that they'll be able to stand up to the rigors of the shipping process. Box strength is especially important for fragile items or those that are being shipped over long distances. By ensuring that boxes can withstand a variety of forces, manufacturers can help to ensure that customers receive the products they ordered in perfect condition. Testing each and every aspect of a corrugated box will help you to deliver quality boxes to the customers. By taking the quality test, you can ensure that your
box will be saved from deformation due to overload. One of the crucial quality tests for the corrugated box is
the box compression test. This lab test can be conducted with the help of a Presto
box compression tester.
This is one of the amazing lab tests that help to quantify the container performance when subjected to the external load. This test can be done by placing the specimen on the flat platform and pressing it in a downward direction. The compression strength test is an important metric when assessing the quality of a box. This test measures the amount of force required to compress the box, which is an indication of the box's strength and durability. The results of this test can also be used to assess the overall quality of the material and workmanship of the box. This test is important for ensuring that boxes are able to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. By ensuring that boxes are made with high-quality materials and construction, businesses can ensure that their products arrive safely at their destination.
Below we have listed the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment.
Features of Presto box compression tester
Box Compression Testing instrument evaluates how much weight a packaging box can bear. They are relevant to those concerned in the distribution chain and the manufacturers of raw materials. This test involves applying load to the packaging box and replicating the load at the time of distribution and storage. When the force is applied from the opposite side in the inward direction, it is known as compression force. In many industries, bearing this compressive force is used to judge the calibre of the material.
