Whether the packaged product is a medical device, a container of yogurt, or a part of a jumbo jet, proper packaging is an essential consideration for any manufacturer. Packaging must adequately secure the contents, yet also be cost effective and simple for the user to remove and reuse. To help quantify the quality of packaging materials, consider Mark-10 force and torque measurement products for some typical applications, such as:

• 90° peel testing of adhesive tapes
• T-peel tests of flexible packaging materials
• 180° peel testing
• Opening force testing
• Score bend testing

• Bottle cap torque testing
• Coefficient of friction testing
• Top-load testing of bottles and cartons
• Foil seal pull-off testing

A Mark-10 system can be as simple as a handheld gauge, or a more capable test stand-based system with choice of gauge, grips, data collection software, and accessories. A wide range of system components is available, enabling the configuration of a system suited to the requirements of specific applications. Click here to learn more.
