Corrugated boxes are a popular choice for many businesses in the paper and packaging industry. They are made from layers of corrugated paper that are glued or taped together. The most common type of corrugation is 3-ply, which consists of three layers of paper—two outer liners and one inner flute. This construction gives corrugated boxes their strength and durability, making them an ideal choice for packaging products that need to be shipped.
In addition to their strength, corrugated boxes are also lightweight and easy to assemble, which makes them a cost-effective packaging solution. But do you know that factors like the bursting strength of the materials will matter the most? This means that testing the bursting strength of paper and cardboard materials is very important to test their quality. Thus we at Presto have come up with one of the amazing lab testing instruments known as the bursting strength tester. This is one of the high-quality lab testing equipment that is useful in determining the bursting strength of materials with ease. With Presto bursting strength tester you can easily test the cardboard boxes and other related products with ease.
Here in this blog, we are going to provide information about how a bursting strength tester is helpful in testing the bursting strength of cardboards with ease. So, let us get started!
What is bursting strength in cardboards?
The burst strength of corrugated boxes and flexible packaging is an important measure in the packaging industry. In general, the higher the burst strength, the better the quality of the packaging. Burst strength is typically measured by placing a sample of the packaging material on an apparatus that slowly applies force to the sample until it bursts. The amount of force required to burst the sample is then recorded. This information can be used to compare different types of packaging materials and to determine which materials are best suited for specific applications. By understanding burst strength, companies can choose packaging materials that will provide the best protection for their products.
Presto is a leading manufacturer of bursting strength testers and provides you with the digital model of this lab testing instrument. This is considered to be the best testing instrument for anyone who wants to test the bursting strength of boxes with ease. This testing machine is very simple to operate and it comes with a calibration certificate as well. The bursting strength is a bit different from the bursting factor. You can read about the difference between the bursting strength of materials and the bursting factor of corrugated boxes.
Now, let us focus on the features and technical specifications of this lab testing instrument.
Features of Presto bursting strength tester
When you are in the business of paper and package manufacturing, it is important to use high-quality packing materials to ensure that your products arrive at their destination in one piece.
Corrugated boxes are a popular option for packaging, as they are strong and lightweight. However, not all corrugated boxes are created equal. In order to ensure that you are using the best possible packaging for your products, it is important to test the strength of the material.
Bursting strength is one of the most important properties to consider, as it helps to determine how well the box will withstand pressure. By testing the bursting strength of your corrugated boxes, you can be sure that your products will arrive safely at their destination.
