The Box Compression Tester is made with strong materials and has a smooth working system. It comes with a digital display, easy buttons, and safety features. It is suitable for testing all types of boxes – big or small, single-wall or double-wall.

Registered Design Patent No. 279106

What is a Box Compression Tester?

A Box Compression Tester (BCT) is a specially designed machine that checks the strength of corrugated boxes, cartons, and other packaging materials. It helps to measure how much weight or pressure a box can handle before it gets crushed. This test is very important because packaging boxes are often stacked during storage, shipping, and transport. If a box is weak, it may collapse and damage the products inside.

The PDBC:  600 Box Compression Tester by Presto Instruments is a reliable and accurate testing instrument that ensures your packaging boxes are strong enough to protect your goods at every stage.

Applications of Box Compression Tester

The Box Compression Tester is widely used in industries where packaging plays an important role. Some common applications include:

  • Corrugated Box Testing:  To check the load-bearing capacity of corrugated and cardboard boxes.
  • Carton Testing:  Used by packaging manufacturers to ensure carton boxes do not collapse during stacking.
  • FMCG Industry:  To test packaging for food, beverages, and consumer goods
  • E-commerce & Logistics:  Ensures shipping boxes are strong enough to handle rough handling and stacking.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry:  For safe transport of medicines and healthcare products.
  • Automobile & Electronics:  To test heavy-duty boxes used for fragile or valuable products.

Benefits of Box Compression Tester

Using a Box Compression Tester offers many benefits for both manufacturers and end-users:

  • Ensures Box Quality:  Helps you produce boxes with the right compression strength.
  • Prevents Product Damage:  Strong packaging reduces the risk of product loss during transit.
  • Cost Saving:  Avoids returns and damages caused by weak packaging.
  • Follows International Standards:  Meets industry testing requirements for packaging 
  • Improves Customer Trust:  Safe delivery increases brand reputation 
  • Accurate & Reliable Testing:  Provides repeatable results for better quality control.

Test Standards

The Presto Box Compression Tester PDBC:  600 is designed to work as per international quality standards. It follows guidelines such as:

  • ASTM D642:  Standard Test Method for Determining Compressive Resistance of Shipping Containers.
  • TAPPI T804:  Testing method for compression strength of fiberboard shipping containers.
  • ISO 12048:  Packaging Complete filled transport packages:  Compression test.

By following these standards, the tester ensures globally accepted and reliable test results.

Working Principle

  • The working of a Box Compression Tester is simple:
  • The box or carton is placed between two compression plates.
  • A gradual compressive force is applied on the box.

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.
