Flexible packaging films are made of various materials, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and come in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes. They can be used to pack everything from food to cosmetics and more. Flexible packaging films offer many benefits over traditional rigid packaging, such as they are lighter in weight, which reduces shipping costs. They take up less space, which is important for storage and transportation. Testing these flexible packaging films is an important part of quality control. Thus, we at Testronix have designed high-quality flexible film packaging instruments that will help to test the quality of flexible packaging films and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers. But first, we will discuss the use of flexible packaging films in the packaging industry.
Flexible packaging films are thin, plastic sheets that are used to pack food, medical, and other products. This type of packaging will make it easy for the manufacturers to transport and store the material. They are also less likely to break or tear than other types of packaging, making them ideal for fragile items. Flexible packaging films can also be printed on, which allows for custom branding and designs.
When these films are being produced, manufacturers want to ensure that they meet all of the required specifications for use. This means that they need to be tested for things like thickness, width, length, and other properties. You can read more on the need of testing flexible packaging films.
Now let us discuss the top lab testing instruments that help in testing the flexible packaging films of the materials.
Flexible packaging films are an important part of the packaging industry. They help keep food fresh and safe to eat while being lightweight and easy to transport. With so many benefits, it's no wonder that flexible packaging films are in high demand. If you're looking for a way to improve your flexible packaging materials, then it is important for you to test the flexible packaging films by using accurate lab testing instruments.
Vacuum leak tester: Testronix vacuum leak testing instrument is one of the high-quality lab testing equipment that is based on bubble emission-based criteria to test the vacuum leakage in products in sachets, pouches, and other related packaging materials. It has been made in accordance with industry standards that include ASTM D3078-02, ASTM D6653, ASTM F 2338, ASTM D5094, and ASTM 4991. This will ensure highly accurate lab testing results for performing vacuum leak tests on the materials.
Dart Impact Tester: Another high-quality lab testing instrument that you must use for testing the impact resistance of these flexible packaging films against freely falling darts is the dart impact resistance tester. It has been made in accordance with industrial standards IS 2508:1984(R2003), ASTM D1709-16A. This high-quality lab testing equipment will help to test the durability of materials against dart impact forces.
Humidity Chamber Digital: The humidity chamber digital model is one of the widely used lab testing equipment that will help to test whether the material will be able to sustain high temperatures or not. Once a sample is placed inside the chamber the reaction and changes in the sample properties are observed before and after the test. Accordingly, the manufactures improve the quality of the sample depending on the test results.
Peel Strength / Seal Strength Tester Digital: This is one of the best lab testing equipment that will help to test the peel/seal and bond strength of packaging materials. It is easy to operate and can provide highly accurate lab testing results for testing the peel strength of the materials.
These are some widely used flexible packaging film testing instruments that you must use.
