Introduction

In industries where packaging plays a vital role in product safety and logistics efficiency, ensuring the durability of corrugated boxes is essential. The Box Compression Tester by Pacorr is a reliable, high-precision testing instrument designed to measure the compressive strength of corrugated cartons and packaging boxes.

From e-commerce fulfillment centers to large-scale manufacturing units, the demand for safe and stackable packaging continues to grow. With Pacorr’s Box Compression Tester, businesses can validate packaging strength, optimize material usage, and maintain compliance with international shipping standards.

What is a Box Compression Tester?

A Box Compression Tester is used to assess the maximum load a box can withstand under vertical pressure before it deforms or collapses. The test replicates real-world stacking and transit conditions, where boxes are subjected to compressive forces during storage and handling.

Pacorr’s advanced compression tester is equipped with digital controls, precision load sensors, and customizable platform sizes—making it ideal for quality control in packaging, warehousing, and logistics operations.

Why Compression Testing Matters

Packaging must not only protect the product inside but also survive stacking, vibration, and pressure during transit. Compression testing ensures that the packaging is capable of:

• Withstanding vertical loads during stacking

• Preventing product damage in storage and transit

• Meeting global packaging standards (ASTM and ISO)

• Reducing packaging costs by avoiding over-design

• Enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing return rates

Using Pacorr’s Box Compression Tester, manufacturers can make informed packaging decisions and reduce risks across the supply chain.

How Box Compression Testing Works

1. Place the box sample on the lower compression platen

2. Set test parameters like test speed, load limit, and box dimensions

3. Start the test – the upper platen applies downward pressure

4. Observe the real-time load as it increases

5. Record the peak force at which the box fails or deforms

6. Export results for documentation and analysis

This process helps manufacturers evaluate packaging quality and ensure product safety during distribution.
