Various industries have to provide quality assurance of the products to the customers as quality plays a crucial role.to ensure quality of packaging instruments manufactures have to perform various testes before supplying products in the market. The packaging helps in keeping the inside material safe from any external damage. Hence the quality of this material must be top notch so as to ensure security. Any packaging material is always subjected to various climatic conditions which could include extreme moisture content. The packaging materials must have the capacity to absorb any sort of moisture without compromising on the quality. The manufacturers of the packaging materials also have to ensure the moisture absorption capacity.

Cobb Sizing Test and its application

Cobb sizing tester measures and calculates the water or any fluid consumed by the paper, fibreboard, and paperboard in at any given point of time during varied climatic conditions. The high Cobb measure of the papers and other related materials determines the capacity of the materials to contain dampness.
