Box Compression Tester

The testing process involves subjecting the box to vertical pressure, simulating the conditions it may face during stacking or transportation. The results help manufacturers and packaging professionals ensure that their boxes meet industry standards and can withstand the rigors of the supply chain. Box strength testers play a crucial role in quality control, ensuring that packaging materials provide sufficient protection for the products they contain.

A box compression tester is a device used to assess the compression strength and durability of corrugated boxes and packaging materials. It measures the maximum load a box can withstand before deformation or failure occurs.

In delivery, numerous corrugated and non-corrugated boxes are used. They are subjected to a lot of vertical loads while loading or transporting. While transporting, a frictional force may damage the box and the material inside the boxes. So, to reduce the risks of damage, it is vital to test the compression strength of a cardboard box. This strength is evaluated by using an equipment known as a Box Compression Tester. Let us dive into the details of a box compression tester.
