Packaging Material Testing Equipment

Practically every product manufactured from virtually every industry is placed into some type of package at some point during its product lifecycle. From basic cardboard boxes to the latest type of plastic used in a flexible packaging application, knowing and understanding how tension and compression forces affect the package itself, or the contents inside are critical. Many types of materials are tested in various ways as they relate to packagings, such as paper, films, foams, textiles, plastics, and composite materials.
