FAQs

  • Flexible packaging testing equipment is used to evaluate the physical and barrier properties of packaging materials such as pouches, films, and laminates. It ensures they can withstand transport, storage, and environmental factors without failure.

  • Burst and puncture testing detect weak points in packaging that could lead to leaks or contamination. These tests help maintain product integrity and reduce risks during distribution.

  • Important standards include ASTM F2054, ISO 11607, and FDA 21 CFR Part 177. They govern aspects such as burst strength, sterilization compatibility, and safe use in food applications.

  • Permeability analysis measures how gases and vapors pass through packaging materials. This helps manufacturers select the right materials to extend shelf-life and maintain product quality.

Customer Success Story

Unreliable barrier‑film testing → Explored advanced WVTR measurement → Innovative WVTR solution achieved ✓

The problem

Increasing numbers of companies are seeking planet-protecting sustainable packaging options. Many want to work with biodegradable polymers, but are finding their traditional testing methods aren’t suitable.

The goal

Aquapak were looking for a novel approach to water vapor transmission testing (WVTR) and we worked together to strive towards a sustainable solution towards testing hydrophilic films.

The result

Being able to build a relationship with Industrial Physics and leverage their expertise in packaging barriers was critical to the success of this programme.”
