Conduct free fall drop test on packages with Presto drop tester

Gaurav Malhotra

We all know that cartons and shipping boxes are commonly used in different industries to deliver products accurately to customers. Testing different properties of boxes is an important part of quality control so that customers will not face any issues related to the poor quality of boxes. One of the widely used quality tests conducted on the material is the free fall drop test. It is used to evaluate the durability of a product or material when subjected to impact or shock during a fall. In this test, the product is dropped from a certain height and allowed to fall freely onto a hard surface and determine its durability.

Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality drop testing machine that is used to test the dropping ability of cartons and other related materials. The manual drop tester will help the manufacturers in ascertaining the quality of boxes by testing their drop strength from different angles.

In this article, we are going to provide you with brief information about the Presto drop strength tester and how this quality lab testing instrument is used to conduct free fall drop strength tests on the packages. So, let us get started!
