The Box Compression Tester Digital Mini is a compact and high-performance testing instrument designed to measure the compressive strength of corrugated boxes, cartons, and other packaging containers. Engineered for precision and durability, this tester helps manufacturers ensure that their packaging can withstand stacking loads during storage and transportation.
A Box Compression Tester is a testing machine used to check how much weight a corrugated box, carton, or packaging material can handle before it gets crushed. In simple words, it measures the strength and durability of packaging boxes. This helps manufacturers ensure that the boxes used for shipping and storage are strong enough to protect the products inside.
The Digital Mini Box Compression Tester (MODEL: PBCC: NXT) by Presto is a compact, easy-to-use, and highly accurate machine designed for quick and reliable test results.
The Box Compression Tester is widely used in the packaging industry to test the load-bearing capacity of different types of boxes. Its main applications include:
Using a Box Compression Tester brings several advantages:
The Box Compression Tester Digital Mini (PBCC: NXT) follows international test methods such as ASTM D642, TAPPI T804, and IS standards.
Working Principle:
The box is placed on a flat platform between two rigid plates. Pressure is applied from the top plate at a uniform speed. The machine records the maximum load the box can bear before collapsing. This value is called the compression strength of the box.
The Box Compression Tester Digital Mini (MODEL: PBCC: NXT) is another advanced product from Presto, designed to help packaging manufacturers maintain quality and ensure customer satisfaction.

We all know that friction testing is considered to be a crucial aspect of quality control, especially in the case of flexible packaging films. The co-efficient of packaging can significantly impact how easily the package will slide or move during transit. A low COF can cause the package to slide too easily, risking damage to its contents. Conversely, a high COF can make the package difficult to handle, potentially causing delays.
