In today’s fast-paced supply chain, product packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of goods during shipping and storage. For businesses that use corrugated boxes and cartons, it’s essential to verify the strength of the packaging material. One of the most reliable ways to do this is by using an Edge Crush Tester.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments, we offer industry-grade Edge Crush Testers designed to measure the compressive strength of corrugated board with precision and ease. Whether you're in packaging manufacturing, logistics, or quality control, our testers help ensure that your materials can withstand real-world handling and stacking pressures.

What is an Edge Crush Tester?

An Edge Crush Tester is a specialized instrument used to determine the edgewise compressive strength of corrugated fiberboard. It simulates the force exerted on the edges of a carton during stacking and transportation. The resulting measurement—known as the Edge Crush Test (ECT) value—provides critical data on the durability and structural integrity of the board.

This test helps manufacturers choose the right board grade for packaging, preventing product damage and reducing material waste. A higher ECT value generally means a stronger, more reliable box that can handle greater stacking loads.

Why is Edge Crush Testing Important?

Edge crush strength is a key factor in predicting the stacking strength of a box. Without accurate testing, businesses risk packaging failure, product loss, and customer dissatisfaction. Here's why testing with an Edge Crush Tester is essential:

• Ensures Packaging Strength: Validates that the material meets required load-bearing specifications.

• Reduces Costs: Prevents over-engineering by using just the right amount of material.

• Improves Product Safety: Reduces the risk of damage during transportation and warehousing.

• Supports Compliance: Meets international packaging standards like ASTM, ISO, and TAPPI.
