Why Every Manufacturer Needs a Box Compression Tester to Meet International Packaging Standards
The Box Compression Testing works by placing a box between two parallel plates. Pressure is applied from the top plate in a controlled manner, and the machine records the force required to crush the box. The force is measured in kilonewtons (kN) or pounds-force (lbf), depending on the standards used.
This process enables manufacturers to determine the maximum weight a box can carry without being damaged or losing its structural integrity. The results from the test are crucial for ensuring that packaging is fit for shipping and storage, preventing damages, returns, and product losses.
