Edge crush resistance in corrugated packaging is measured using an Edge Crush Tester (ECT), which evaluates the ability of corrugated board to withstand compression applied to its edge. This test helps determine the board's strength and suitability for packaging, stacking, and transportation.
During testing, a carefully prepared corrugated board specimen is positioned vertically between the tester's compression plates. A gradually increasing compressive force is applied until the specimen begins to collapse. The maximum force recorded indicates the edge crush strength of the material.
Presto Stantest Pvt. Ltd. offers testing equipment designed to support quality evaluation in the paper and packaging industries. Measuring edge crush resistance helps manufacturers select suitable corrugated boards, improve carton strength, reduce packaging damage, and maintain consistent product quality according to applicable testing standards.
