Paper board is a material used commonly in the packaging industry. The packing is done with paperboard as it has high strength and also can be recycled and reused. Paper packaging has many advantages over other types of materials that are used to package products. Thus, testing these paper boards is an important part of the quality control process so that these boxes can easily be delivered to the customers. We at Testronix have designed high quality bursting strength tester digital model that can accurately view the bursting strength of packages with ease.

This is one of the widely used lab testing instruments in the paper and packaging industry and can evaluate the bursting strength of paper and other related materials. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with information about Testronix bursting strength tester digital model and how you can easily conduct a bursting strength test using this high-quality lab testing instrument. We will also discuss brief information about the use of paper and its related products in the packaging industry. So, let us get started.

Use of paper and its related products in the packaging industry

Manufacturers of packaging materials rely partially on the paper products manufacturing industry for delivering products accurately to the customers. One of the major paper-related products is paperboard which is widely used in the packaging industry. Paperboard packaging has been around for centuries, and its use in the packaging industry has only grown in recent years. This sustainable and recyclable material is perfect for packaging a wide variety of products, from food to cosmetics.

They are strong and lightweight, making them ideal for packaging products of all shapes and sizes. Paperboards can be customized to any specifications, which makes them perfect for businesses that require unique packaging solutions. With all these embedded properties, in these paper-related materials, the packaging manufacturers can reluctantly use this testing instrument to determine its usage.

Besides this, it is important for the packaging manufacturers to test the quality of these papers and their related materials so that they will not get deformed or damaged during shipping.

One of the major quality lab tests that are used in the paper and packaging industry is the bursting strength test. This quality test conducted on the materials will help the manufacturers to deliver a durable product to the customer.
