An Edge Crush Tester measures the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated cardboard. It determines the maximum load the cardboard can withstand when pressure is applied to its edge, in the same direction as the flutes. This value helps assess the stacking strength of packaging boxes and is critical for evaluating the durability and performance of corrugated packaging during transit and storage.
The RCT/FCT/Edge Crush Tester is a reliable tool designed to measure the crush strength of cardboard boxes and packaging containers. This instrument assesses the crushing resistance in units of Kg per unit length, providing essential data for ensuring packaging durability. The tester is a rigid support type compression device built to perform material tests according to TAPPI and ASTM standards on corrugated board and paper. It is suitable for conducting Ring Crush (RCT), Edge Crush (ECT), and Flat Crush (FCT) tests. The device features a tabletop model design and includes a dual system: a digital display for use when a computer is not available and inbuilt hardware with a software CD for comprehensive data analysis.

An ECT tester (short for Edge Crush Tester) is a type of testing equipment used to measure the edge-wise compressive strength of corrugated cardboard. This test is crucial for packaging manufacturers because it helps determine how much pressure the board can handle before collapsing. Simply put, it gives you insight into how sturdy your boxes are — which matters a lot when shipping or stacking goods.
An Edge Crush Resistance Tester measures the amount of force a piece of corrugated board can withstand when pressure is applied to its edge. This test, also known as the Edge Crush Test (ECT), simulates real-world stacking pressure, so businesses can predict how their packaging will perform during transport and storage.
When selecting an edge crush tester machine, consider your testing volume, required accuracy, and whether you prefer a digital or manual setup. For frequent, high-precision testing, a digital edge crush tester is ideal. Look for trusted suppliers who offer service support, calibration, and warranty options to make the most of your investment.
A digital edge crush tester offers more precision and ease of use compared to manual versions. It often features a digital display, automatic test cycle, and real-time data recording. This helps reduce human error and provides consistent, reliable results. Manual testers are more affordable but may require more hands-on effort and calibration.
The edge crush test is highly regarded because it closely replicates the real-world stress boxes face during shipping and storage. Unlike flat crush or burst tests, the ECT directly tells you how well a box will perform when stacked — which is often the most critical condition in distribution chains.
Saudi Arabian industries such as logistics, E-commerce, and manufacturing are flourishing. Maintaining the quality of packaging is a critical part of this region. Without Presto's Box Compression Tester Computerised, businesses will be subject to risks such as damage during transit to the weak corrugated boxes. It may result in a bad brand reputation, more returns, and greater operating costs. Ensuring the box compression strength tester is included in your quality control process can help your business avoid such challenges.
