Material testing
Quality control tests of the packaging material may ensure the packaging quality.
Paper:
In our lab we do the most common corrugated box testing methods used to check the strength of corrugated boxes.
Applied standards:
- ISO 2759 – Board – Determination of bursting strength
- ISO 3689 – Paper and board – Determination of bursting strength after immersion in water
- ISO 535 – Paper and board – Determination of water absorptiveness – Cobb method
- ISO 536 – Paper and board – Determination of grammage
- ISO 3039 – Corrugated fibreboard – Determination of grammage of the component papers after separation
- ISO 3034 – Corrugated fibreboard – Determination of single sheet thickness
- ISO 3035 – Corrugated fibreboard – Determination of flat crush resistance
- ISO 3036 – Board – Determination of puncture resistance
- ISO 3037 – Corrugated fibreboard – Determination of edgewise crush resistance
