In the world of packaging where products will shipped far and wide, ensuring the safe arrival of the products is crucial to ensure their accurate delivery. Corrugated boxes are one of the most popular packaging materials used today. They are strong, lightweight, and relatively durable to deliver a different range of products to customers. Testing these boxes against bursting is an important part of quality control. Thus, we at Presto being Asia’s No.1 Manufacturer of Laboratory Testing Instruments has designed high-quality package testing equipment known as bursting strength tester.This is one of the amazing lab testing instruments that is used to test the bursting strength of different materials like Rexene, leather, paper boards, paper, uneven boards and boxes, industrial fabric and much more.

This lab testing instrument has been manufactured with quality test standards that include ASTM D 3786-01, ASTM D 3786 – 80A, and ISO 1060 PART-1 1987. This lab testing equipment has been widely used in the paper and packaging industry to determine the quality of products delivered to customers. With the use of this lab testing instrument, one can easily measure the burst strength of the materials with ease. In this blog, we will discuss a brief about Presto Burst Genie 2.0 and why corrugated boxes should be tested against bursting before delivery to the customers.

What is bursting strength and why it is important to test the corrugated boxes' burst strength?

The term burst strength or bursting strength is referred to the amount of pressure required for the material to rupture or burst. This is considered to be one of the most important parameters that can be used to test the material’s ability to withstand external bursting pressure.

Bursting strength testing is an important quality control measure for corrugated boxes because it provides data on how well a given box will perform under real-world conditions. By ensuring that boxes meet or exceed their minimum burst strength requirements, manufacturers can be confident that their products will arrive at their destination safely and in good condition.

Besides this there are many reasons that indicate testing the burst strength of corrugated boxes is essential:

A box with poor burst strength will not only get damaged easily but also the products inside it will get affected which may lead to high product rejection rates. Thus, with Presto bursting tester, one can accurately measure the bursting strength of the material and deliver quality products to the customers.
Besides this, another important reason that the burst strength of the corrugated boxes is an important factor to be considered is to ensure that accurate products will be delivered to the customers.
Using high quality bursting strength tester will help the manufacturers in ensuring that the products delivered will be of high quality. The higher the bursting strength, the more resistant the box is to pressure and damage.

These are some of the reasons that indicate you should test your product against bursting strength. You can read more on the benefits of testing the bursting strength of corrugated boxes and delivering quality products to customers.

Now, let us discuss a brief about Presto Burst Genie 2.0 and why it is important to test the quality of materials effectively.
