Packaging Mechanical Performance Testing Equipment for Food and Drug Industries

Packaging in the food and drug industries is the frontline defense against product degradation and contamination. While barrier properties against environmental factors are crucial, the physical and mechanical attributes of packaging are equally vital for product protection throughout the supply chain.

Seal Strength and Integrity: These tests evaluate the package's ability to resist leakage and maintain a sterile barrier. Seal integrity assesses the entire package's resistance to external forces, preventing leaks and contamination.

Labthink C660B Leak and Seal Strength Tester is professionally designed for the leakage tests of packages for food, drugs, medical instruments, household chemical products, cars, electronic components, stationeries and other industrial products. The instrument also can be used to test seal performance of specimens after falling and compression tests

Opening Force: This test determines the ease with which consumers can open the package. While excessive force can frustrate consumers, insufficient force might compromise product integrity. Optimizing opening force is crucial for consumer satisfaction and product protection.

Tear Resistance: This property is essential for packages that require easy opening, such as pouches or bags. Tear resistance tests evaluate the force needed to initiate and propagate a tear, ensuring controlled opening without product damage.

Labthink C610H Auto Tensile Tester is professionally applicable to measurement of tensile, peeling, deformation, tearing, heat sealing, adhesive, puncture force, opening force, pulling force and low speed unwrapping force as well as other properties of plastic films, composite materials, soft package materials, plastic flexible tube, adhesives, adhesive tapes, label stickers, medical plasters, release paper, protective films, combined caps, aluminum foils, diaphragms, back sheets, non-woven fabrics, rubber and paper, etc.

Impact Resistance: Packaging often encounters shocks and vibrations during transportation and handling. Impact resistance tests assess the package's ability to withstand these forces, preventing product damage and preserving its quality.

Labthink C670M Falling Dart Impact Tester is suitable for measuring the impact mass and energy of plastic film or sheet when 50% of the sample is damaged under the impact of free falling dart at a given height.

By subjecting packaging to rigorous physical and mechanical testing, manufacturers can identify potential weaknesses, optimize packaging design, and ensure product safety and consumer satisfaction. As regulatory standards become increasingly stringent, continuous investment in advanced testing equipment and methodologies is essential to meet the evolving demands of the food and drug industries.

As the demand for functional packaging materials grows, testing methods are evolving to ensure a more comprehensive evaluation of packaging films. Labthink encourages collaboration with packaging industry companies for quality control! Visit the website www.labthink.com to learn more!
