This test removes moisture from a sample in a vacuum environment, lowering the boiling point and facilitating efficient drying without exposing materials to high heat. It’s essential for moisture-sensitive products, ensuring stability and preventing degradation or spoilage. This method helps maintain product integrity and is especially useful in preparing packaging components before further testing or storage.

Products are rapidly cycled between extreme high and low temperatures to simulate real-world temperature fluctuations. This test evaluates the material’s resistance to cracking, warping, or failure due to sudden thermal stress. It’s vital for packaging exposed to shipping environments with drastic temperature changes, helping ensure package reliability and performance.

Packaging samples are subjected to prolonged exposure under controlled temperature and humidity to evaluate their durability and stability. This test simulates aging and environmental variations, identifying weaknesses such as material deformation, adhesive failure, or barrier property loss. It assures long-term packaging performance in storage, transit, or retail environments.

This accelerated aging process exposes materials to UV light, mimicking sunlight. It assesses how quickly packaging components fade, degrade, or lose mechanical properties when exposed to sunlight over time. The results forecast the product’s outdoor shelf life and visual appeal, crucial for packaging stored or displayed in sunlit environments.

This test measures the surface friction between packaging materials, ensuring that films, labels, and wrapping don’t slip, misalign, or jam during processing and transport. Accurate coefficient of friction testing helps prevent material mishandling; a well-balanced friction level ensures safer stacking, sealing, and customer handling.​

Compatibility testing verifies that the packaging is chemically and physically stable with the contained product. It ensures there are no adverse reactions, leakage, or barrier failures, and checks for preservation of taste, smell, color, and physical integrity. This is critical to product safety, especially for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Precise measurements of packaging components are taken to verify adherence to design specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for assembly and use. This step reduces the risk of leaks, deformation, or transport failures. Accurate dimensional control is crucial for automated filling lines and stacking stability during shipping and storage.​

Torque testing evaluates the rotational force needed to apply or remove caps, lids, or closures. It ensures closures are neither too loose nor too tight—preventing leaks and ensuring user-friendliness. Maintaining optimal torque helps avoid consumer complaints due to spillage or opening difficulties, and assures compliance with safety regulations.
