Central laboratory for paper and packaging testing

We apply high quality standards to your packaging and take great care in selecting the right material and the right type of corrugated cardboard, among other things.

In our in-house central laboratory, we test paper, corrugated cardboard and finished packaging in accordance with recognised test procedures. In this way, we ensure that our packaging and materials are optimally suited to their areas of application and thus contribute to the success of your products.

Testing corrugated cardboard

We analyse the quality and efficiency of your packaging in our central laboratory using proven test methods for corrugated cardboard to ensure its reliability during the transport and storage of your products.

Determination of material grammage
Bursting strength test (BST test)
Testing bending stiffness using the 4-point method
Puncture resistance test (PET test)
Testing the edge crush resistance (ECT test)
Flat crush resistance test for corrugated cardboard (FCT test - Flat Crush Test) and paper (CMT test - Concora Medium Test)

Inspection of packaging

In some cases, our packaging tests reveal that the concept is not optimally suited to its intended use. In this case, we adapt the packaging design - or develop completely new packaging for you if required.

Checking the stacking crush resistance of your packaging (BCT test)
Various drop tests of your packaging with contents
Material and packaging tests for hazardous goods packaging

You can rely on the proper execution of our packaging and material tests as well as on our sound advice and expertise in the development of packaging alternatives. Our test laboratory is also recognised and approved by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) as a test centre for hazardous goods packaging made of corrugated cardboard.

Material testing of paper

We carry out various material tests to ensure that the corrugated base paper we use fulfils the requirements for your packaging.

Determination of the grammage
Cobb test - testing the water absorption capacity of the paper
Testing the flat crush resistance on paper previously corrugated in the lab (CMT - Concora Medium Test)
SCT (Short Compression Test) - testing Short-span Compression
Colour space
Short-term penetration with the EMTEC method
Determination of air permeability according to Bendtsen
Roughness (Bendtsen)
Pick strength according to Dennison Tappi
Slip angle
