Packaging Testing

Packaging Testing Solutions from ADMET

Whether you need to measure the compressive load capacity of egg cartons or the seal strength of sterilized medical pouches, ADMET materials testing systems are ideal for determining the mechanical properties of package containers, components, and materials. We have worked with hundreds of customers who test packaging in medical, transportation, food, and retail applications.

All of our systems are capable of performing constant-rate-travel, ramp to hold load and cyclic tests and exceed ASTM E4 force accuracy requirements.  ADMET offers a full range of testing machines, fixtures, controllers, software, environmental chambers and baths to perform compression, tension, peel, seal, and fatigue tests to ASTM and ISO standards on:

Virtually all of our testing systems are capable of performing multiple mechanical tests on packaging products. The sample size and force capacity of your packaging as well as your analysis and reporting requirements will determine which ADMET testing system is correct for your application. We will customize any system to satisfy special load, speed, and fixturing requirements.

Common testing standards for packaging include:

• ASTM D882 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting
• ASTM D903 – Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhesive Bonds
• ASTM D1894 – Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting
• ASTM F88 – Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials
