What Are The Types Of Materials Used In Packaging Production? What Test Procedures Should Be Applied?

Packaging Tests

There are many types of packaging used in different products. Packaging materials; It can be produced from metal, paper-cardboard and plastic materials.

The packaging should be specially selected depending on the product requirements. For example; Plastics must have the correct gas and water vapor permeability. Metal packaging must have a suitable tin or lacquer layer.

Multi-layer structures must be of the correct thickness. Package selection is made considering these features.

Metal Packaging Tests

• Checks against specifications
• Determination of compound liner weight distribution
• Determining the vacuum in the boxes
• Drop test
• Dye penetration test
• Elemental analysis
• Headroom gas analysis
• Lacquer adhesion test
• Determination of lake weight
• Leak testing of boxes
• Plate thickness
• Ring pull analysis of easy open ends
Scanning electron microscope
• Score line analysis
• Seam division / double stitch evaluation
• Side wall and vertical axis strength test
Torque test
