Corrugated Box / Shipper Testing Procedure:
Shipper packaging material is a type of tertiary packaging material that refers to materials used specifically for the outer packaging of goods during shipping and transportation.
Shipper packaging materials are crucial for ensuring that products arrive at their destination safely and in good condition. They are designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and handling while providing adequate protection for the goods inside.
There are many ply types of shipper. Ex. 3-ply shipper, 5-ply shipper, 7-ply shipper. It only has one joint. These joints are pasting or stapling.
Given below are some testing parameters.
1. Description
We verify the physical appearance of this parameter. make a paper board type. Printed or unprinted and how many of ply.
2. Test matter
In this test, the printed shipper verifies the test matter with the help of an approved shade card, artwork, and transparency for another language.
3. Dimension:
Length: Take a sample and measure the length with the help of a measuring scale.
Width: Take a sample and measure the Width with the help of a measuring scale.
Height: Take a sample and measure the Height with the help of a measuring scale.
Take random 3 samples measuring and note down the reading.
4. Bursting strength:
it test performed, cut the sample 10×10 cm and put the sample bursting strength tester then pressure created the result appeared. Its unit is kg/cm2 .
5. Thickness of board paper:
With the help of a Vernier caliper measure the thickness of different positions. Take the reading and note it down. Compare the reading limit with stp/spec
6. Pasting/stapling
In this test, we visually check whether the shipper is joints point stapling or pasting. How many joints, and its joints are stapling then how many stapling?
7. Grammage:
Cut the sample of total grammage testing to any position with the help of a GSM plate to a 10 x10 cm area. With the help of GSM Plate. Dip it in warm water sometimes all the paper is separated Dry the paper in the oven, then flute paper cut 10 x 10 cm With the help of a GSM plate.
Weight the sample on balance and calculate by the below calculation formula-
Weigh the sample
Grammage = —————————- x 100×100
10 cm x10 cm
Units Gram/m2
Grammage limit as per given stp/spec
8. Check for contamination
Visually check the samples are crashing and cutting free from dust, rust any other physical appearance.
