In the packaging industry, the use of cartons has thoroughly increased due to their strength and durability. Testing the drop strength of the package is an important part of quality control that helps the manufacturers in ascertaining the quality of the product. Thus, we at Testronix have designed a high-quality drop strength tester manual model that provides the angular drop arrangement for conducting carton drop tests on the packages with ease. In this blog, we will discuss brief information about the Testronix drop strength tester and how this lab testing instrument is used to test the dropping ability of cartons. But before that, let us focus on the need of testing the dropping ability of cartons.
When it comes to package testing, the drop test is one of the most important tests that you can perform. This is because the drop test simulates the worst-case scenario for a package - what would happen if your package was dropped from a height?
If you are shipping a product that is fragile or could be damaged by a fall, then the drop test is essential in order to ensure that your packaging can protect your product. Even if your product is not fragile, the drop test is still a good way to assess the overall strength and durability of your packaging. The Testronix drop testing instrument will help to keep the products safe from harm with effective testing. Now, let us discuss brief information about the Testronix drop strength tester.
