Box Compression Tester
How much force can a box withstand before it deforms or collapses.
About Us
Box Compression Tester
Compressive strength is the ability of a material to resist forces that reduce its size. For finished packages, a compression test evaluates their resistance to crushing, degree of deformation, and stacking strength.

Box Compression Testing Applications
| Strength Test (Crush Test) | The strength test, often called the crush test, applies a steadily increasing load until the box deforms or fails. This test identifies the maximum force (peak load) the box can withstand. |
| Fixed-Value Test | The fixed-value test maintains a set pressure or deformation threshold to evaluate box stability. |
| Stacking Simulation Test | This test replicates warehouse stacking conditions, applying a sustained load over a set period. |
| Packaging | Corrugated boxes for food, e-commerce, and retail packaging. |
| Pharmaceutical & Medical | Plastic containers and drums designed for sensitive materials. |
| Chemical & Adhesives | Fiberboard and plastic barrels for secure chemical storage. |
| Heavy Machinery & Automotive | Wooden crates and composite packaging solutions for heavy equipment. |
| Quality Control & R&D | Optimize packaging design and material selection for enhanced performance and cost efficiency. |

The Importance of Box Compression Testing
Ensuring Packaging Integrity and Product Safety
Box Compression Testing evaluates the maximum load a carton or box can withstand without deformation or failure. This ensures that packaging maintains its structural integrity during stacking, transportation, and storage, effectively protecting the products inside from damage.
Optimizing Packaging Design and Cost Efficiency
By understanding the compression strength, manufacturers can optimize material selection and box construction. This helps achieve the right balance between strength and material usage, reducing unnecessary costs while maintaining adequate protection.
Compliance with Industry Standards and Customer Requirements
Box Compression Testing ensures packaging meets relevant international standards such as ISO 12048 and ASTM D642. Compliance with these standards helps manufacturers fulfill customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and facilitates smoother logistics and supply chain operations.
