Assessment and validation of secondary packaging

Packaging for fruit and vegetables (cardboard and plastics)

Corrugated cardboard:

• Grammage of component papers
• Water absorption
• Low frequency vibration
• Vertical compression (BCT)
• Bottom bending resistance

Plastics:

• Vertical compression (BCT)
• Bottom bending resistance
• Stacking
• Drop

Industrial packaging and box pallets (cardboard, plastic, metal and wood)

Compression resistance, stacking, vertical impact by dropping, local impact, base deflection and static coefficient of friction.

Pallets

Assessment of pallets for goods handling:

• Tests with nominal load: racking, fork lifting, compression, stacking, etc.
• Maximum load tests in use: racking, fork lifting, compression, stacking, twin track conveyors, etc.
• Durability tests: corner drop test, block impact test, top deck impact test, friction test, etc.
