Printed labels should be tested against scuff resistance to ensure that they maintain their quality and readability over time. When labels are subjected to handling, transportation, or storage, they can be exposed to friction, abrasion, or rubbing against other surfaces, which can cause scuffing or rubbing off of the printed graphics. Thus, it is important for manufacturers of the packaging industry, to test the scuff resistance of printed labels. We at Presto have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a scuff resistance tester that is used to test the scuff resistance of printed labels and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers.
If labels become scuffed or damaged, it can cause a range of problems such as decreased visibility, reduced legibility, loss of information, and even misidentification of products. This can lead to a loss of product value, customer trust, and in some cases, even safety issues.
In this blog, we are going to discuss brief information about the Presto scuff testing instrument that is used to test the scuff resistance of materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers.
Conduct quality assurance test of printed labels with scuff resistance tester
Conducting a quality assurance test of printed labels using a scuff resistance tester is an important step in ensuring that the labels maintain their quality and readability over time.
This quality test involves subjecting a representative sample of printed labels to controlled rubbing, scratching, or abrasion, to simulate the wear and tear that can occur during handling, transportation, or storage.
By measuring the amount of scuffing or damage that occurs to the labels, manufacturers can evaluate the effectiveness of their printing processes and materials, and identify any areas for improvement. This test can help to maintain product quality, reduce the risk of errors, and increase customer satisfaction.
