Measurement vs Monitoring Defined
Environmental data recorders are powerful tools that can help address challenges associated with moving products through the supply chain.
Midea saves over $1.2million per year with Lansmont testing solutions
Midea implemented Lansmont's SAVER 3X90s solution to characterize Chinese distribution and create an archive of dynamic and environmental transport data.
ISBT sports closure tension test
The International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) publish voluntary codes of practice for the technical and scientific aspects of soft drinks and be
Glued cardboard packaging integrity
Graphic Packaging International is a leading designer and manufacturer of food and beverage packaging.
Top-load Testing of Plant-based PLA Material Bottles
BioPak Solutions in Roquefort-les-Pins, France, are leaders in the production of Polylactic Acid (PLA) bottles.
Achieving 'flatness of drop' in drop testing
One key consideration for Drop Testers is their ability to deliver “flatness of drop.” That means if I place a package on a drop tester in an orientation, I want it to impact the floor (or baseplate) on that same orientation - without any change in orientation during the drop or free fall. Flatness of drop is specifically called out within ASTM D5276 (Standard Test Method for Drop Test of Loaded Containers by Free Fall).
Coefficient of Friction (CoF) testing
Coefficient of Friction (COF) testing measures the static and kinetic friction values to help determine the quality of the final product. It involves measuring not only the peak force as surfaces begin to rub against each other, but also the average force as they continue to, over a period of time or length.
Shock and vibration - what are they and why should you care?
When shipping products from one location to another, you want high confidence that upon arrival, the product has maintained its original integrity without experiencing any damage along the way. Shock and vibration hazards are always present in the supply chain.
Field data loggers - monitoring vs measurement
When moving products through the supply chain, it’s important to understand the climatic and dynamic hazards present within that system. Those hazards possess a variety of damage potential.
Corrugated cardboard Edge Crush Test (ECT)
Simple test methods such as the Edge Crush Test (ECT) enable businesses to understand the maximum weight a box can withstand and the overall stacking strength. ECT gives a good picture of overall strength, enabling cardboard and box manufacturers to better maintain and improve quality control testing, during formulation, processing and production.
Frequently asked questions about packaging testing
Packaging testing refers to the systematic evaluation and analysis of packaging materials, components, and the overall packaging systems, including primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging, to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards. It involves a series of tests that assess various aspects such as durability, strength, integrity, protection, and environmental impact.
