Packaging – Mechanical Testing of Packaging Materials and Components

In the packaging industry, products must reliably meet the required specifications for weight, protective performance, and recyclability – while keeping material and production costs as low as possible, since packaging itself does not add direct product value.

TesT provides testing machines and systems for the mechanical testing of packaging materials, containers, and packaging components. Typical materials include metals, plastics, paper, cardboard, and composites. Common application areas include industrial and food packaging, films and multilayer foils, plastic bottles and preforms, drums and canisters, cups, trays, and closures, as well as foam and polystyrene molded parts.

Our systems precisely and reproducibly measure destructive and load-bearing forces to assess strength, tightness, deformation, and fracture behavior. In doing so, TesT supports the packaging industry in quality assurance, material optimization, and standards-compliant testing across a wide range of packaging solutions.
