In today’s global marketplace, packaging is more than just a way to transport goods—it's a critical part of the customer experience and product protection. Poor packaging can lead to damaged goods, increased returns, and lost trust. That’s why testing the strength of your packaging is essential, and Pacorr’s Box Compression Tester is designed to make that process simple, accurate, and reliable.
A Box Compression Tester (BCT) is a specialized machine used to evaluate the strength of corrugated boxes and cartons. It applies vertical pressure to a box to determine how much weight it can handle before it starts to deform or collapse. This test simulates the pressure a box might endure when stacked in a warehouse or loaded in a shipping container.
Understanding how much weight your boxes can bear helps you optimize your packaging materials, improve product safety, and ensure efficient storage and transportation.
From factory to fulfillment, packaging goes through a lot. Boxes are often stacked on top of each other during transport and storage. If your boxes aren't strong enough, the bottom ones can collapse—causing damage, delays, and losses.
Here’s why compression testing should be part of your packaging strategy:
✅ Reduce Product Damage: Strong packaging keeps goods protected.
✅ Cut Material Costs: Use only the materials you need—nothing more.
✅ Enhance Customer Trust: Deliver products in perfect condition.
✅ Meet Global Standards: Ensure compliance with ASTM and ISO guidelines.
✅ Boost Brand Reputation: Reliable packaging reflects a reliable company.
At Pacorr, we’ve developed a Box Compression Tester that meets the demands of modern packaging operations. Engineered with precision and built to last, our BCT delivers accurate, repeatable results with every test.
