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 company's own central laboratory, we test our customers' paper, corrugated cardboard, and finished packaging using recognized testing methods. This ensures that materials and packaging are optimally suited to their areas of application and contribute to the success of your products.

Testing corrugated cardboard

In our central laboratory, we use proven testing methods for corrugated cardboard to analyze the quality and efficiency of your packaging in order to ensure its reliability during transport and storage.

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
