Packaging failure is a widespread but expensive issue across industries that handle transportation, logistics, and consumer products. Poor packaging can lead to product damage in the process of handling, shipping, or stacking. This causes monetary loss, customer dissatisfaction, and compromised brand image. Among the major reasons for packaging failures is poor impact resistance.
But that can be efficiently corrected using the dart impact tester. This trusted test equipment measures the resistance and toughness of plastic films and packaging materials to unexpected drops, allowing manufacturers to detect flaws before they turn into problems and products arrive at their destination intact and in one piece.
A Dart Impact Tester is used to measure the impact resistance of packaging materials, plastic films, and laminates. It calculates the amount of energy needed to initiate failure by a free fall of a weighted dart from a set distance. The test ensures the durability and performance of materials against handling, transportation, and use.
The Dart impact tester is applied in the industries of paper, packaging, and flexible films to compute the impact of a freely falling dart against a plastic film. The impact force by which the falling dart tears the plastic films under specified conditions is computed. The impact on the films is a function of the falling distance of the dart and the dart's weight.
The Dart Impact Tester tests the durability of plastic films or flexible packaging materials to withstand puncture or rupture when impacted suddenly. The tester impacts a hemispherical dart from a given height against a clamped sample of film. Depending on whether the film ruptures or holds, manufacturers can ascertain the impact resistance and total durability of the packaging material.
Procedure for Dart Impact Testing:
Common failures of the Dart Impact tester include: Film puncture during transit, inconsistent film quality across batches, packaging burst under load pressure, leakage in Liquid packaging, and more.
Ensuring your packaging is durable and reliable is key to protecting your products and preserving brand trust. The Dart Impact Tester offers a precise and standardized method to evaluate the impact resistance of plastic films, helping you identify weak points before they lead to costly failures.
By integrating dart impact testing into your quality control process, you can boost packaging performance, reduce product returns, and align with sustainability goals through smarter material usage.
