ASTM D5264-98 & TAPPI T830 OM -11

ASTM D5264 outlines the laboratory test method to determine the rubbing resistance characteristics of printed items, labels, cartons, and coated surfaces of packaging. The test can be used to investigate scuffing, rubbing, and surface wear resistance of inks and printed layers during transportation and storage as well as during handling. It is commonly utilized in packaging, printing, paper, and label-making industries due to the appearance and durability of prints. Presto Instruments offers advanced ink abrasion resistance testers suitable for ASTM D5264 laboratory applications. These systems support controlled rubbing cycles and accurate surface evaluation. Presto Instruments helps manufacturers study print durability, coating performance, and packaging surface quality with confidence.
