When it comes to product safety, packaging plays a critical role. Whether it is during transportation, storage, or handling, packages are often exposed to sudden impacts. To ensure your packaging can withstand these challenges, Pacorr offers a high-precision Drop Tester, designed to simulate real-world drop conditions and assess packaging performance.

Pacorr’s Drop Tester helps manufacturers evaluate the structural integrity of cartons, boxes, and containers, reducing the risk of product damage and improving packaging reliability.

What is a Drop Tester?

A Drop Tester is a laboratory instrument used to simulate vertical falls that occur during the handling or transport of packaged goods. The purpose is to determine how much impact a packaging material can absorb without damaging the contents inside.

This method is widely used in quality control and packaging development. By conducting drop tests, companies can identify design flaws, optimize packaging materials, and ensure product safety.

Pacorr’s Drop Tester is built to deliver accurate results, offering flexibility in drop height and testing angles. It complies with industry standards like ASTM D5276 and ISO 2248, making it suitable for a wide range of industries.

How Drop Testing Works

The testing process involves lifting the test package to a defined height and dropping it in a controlled manner onto a solid surface. The goal is to replicate the conditions the package may face during shipping or manual handling.

There are three common types of drop tests:

  • Flat Drop – The package is dropped on one of its flat surfaces.

  • Edge Drop – The package is dropped on one of its edges to evaluate structural resistance.

  • Corner Drop – The most vulnerable part of the package is tested by dropping it on one of its corners.

These tests help manufacturers understand how well their packaging protects the contents from sudden impacts.
