FAQs about Flexible Packaging Testing Equipment

  • The correct barrier test depends on the type of permeation you need to measure (oxygen, moisture, or CO₂), the material structure, and your required sensitivity. For example, multilayer films with high barrier coatings often require high precision OTR or WVTR instruments capable of detecting extremely low transmission rates. Understanding your film composition, expected shelf-life requirements, and regulatory standards helps ensure you select the appropriate permeation method and test conditions. Barrier coatings often require high precision OTR or WVTR instruments capable of detecting extremely low transmission rates. Understanding your film composition, expected shelf life requirements, and regulatory standards helps ensure you select the appropriate permeation method and test conditions.

  • Seal performance can be influenced by film thickness, sealing temperature, dwell time, pressure, and even the presence of coatings or laminates. Variations in these parameters can lead to weak seals, channel leaks, or inconsistent peel forces. Using controlled, repeatable test conditions and validating your sealing process against ASTM or ISO methods ensures accurate, comparable seal strength data across production runs.

  • A lot of demands are placed on flexible packaging, that means testing must be just as demanding. There are a huge range of different tests to help determine the properties of everything from packaging components to the final product, whether that’s testing the scuff resistance of paints and coatings, the puncture resistance of flexible films, or how well a flexible pouch can withstand compression or deformation during shipping and handling.

  • There are many different types of flexible package testing, covering every stage of research and development, production and quality control. Just a few of the most common flexible packaging tests include:

    • Coefficient of friction testing
    • Crush testing
    • Density testing
    • Inks and coatings testing
    • Corrugated testing
    • Strength testing
    • Flexibility testing
  • Our flexible packaging testing equipment has been designed to meet a variety of industry standards. Be confident that you can thoroughly determine the important qualities of your flexible packaging and materials, by choosing solutions from our specialist testing brands.
