Edge Crush Tester – Reliable Testing for Corrugated Packaging Strength
Introduction
The global demand for corrugated packaging is increasing as businesses focus on sustainable, durable, and cost-efficient solutions. From FMCG to pharmaceuticals, e-commerce to logistics, the strength of corrugated boxes plays a critical role in protecting products during stacking, storage, and transportation. One of the most trusted methods to assess carton durability is the Edge Crush Test (ECT), carried out with a high-precision Edge Crush Tester.
At Pacorr Testing Instruments, we design and manufacture advanced Edge Crush Testers that deliver accurate, repeatable, and standard-compliant results, helping industries maintain quality, compliance, and customer confidence.
What is an Edge Crush Tester?
An Edge Crush Tester measures the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated boards. By applying a controlled force on the edge of a sample until it fails, this test reveals how much load the carton can endure when stacked vertically. A higher edge crush value means stronger packaging and improved box compression strength.
Why Edge Crush Testing is Important?
Product Protection – Ensures boxes don’t collapse under warehouse or transit stacking.
Cost Optimization – Helps select the right paper GSM and flute design.
Supply Chain Safety – Reduces damages, returns, and losses.
Sustainability – Supports eco-friendly packaging by using optimized material strength.
Compliance – Meets international standards such as TAPPI T811, ISO 3037, and ASTM D7030.
