Testing the quality and resistance of corrugated board
Corrugated board: a technical marvel!
- Strength tests on corrugated board to determine quality
- Collapse tests and edge crush resistance (ECT)
- Determination of load bearing capacity
- Influence of climatic loads on strength
You are a manufacturer of corrugated board? Great!
Companies that produce or want to use packaging for overseas transport can have any corrugated board quality tested by us. As an accredited testing institute, we test all the properties of the various corrugated board grades.
Depending on the shipping method, the corrugated board must have special functions. Knowing these is particularly important not only for packaging developers. Professional packers also need to have the right grade to hand, because the difference between packaging small parts and protecting industrial goods with corrugated board is enormous.
The corrugated board has to have special properties depending on the shipping method.
