Why Checking Ink Abrasion Resistance Matters for Durable Packaging Materials?

Why Checking Ink Abrasion Resistance Matters for Durable Packaging Materials?
  • Gaurav Malhotra

If you are working in the printing industry, then testing the ink abrasion of the materials is an important aspect of quality control. By subjecting different surfaces to rigorous ink abrasion tests, manufacturers can gain valuable insights into how well their products withstand everyday wear and tear, such as rubbing or scratching. Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality laboratory testing instrument known as a scuff tester that can evaluate the scuff resistance of the materials when rubbed against each other.

This lab testing equipment has been designed as per industry standards including ASTM F2497-05, BS 3110:1959. This will ensure accurate testing results. Ensuring your packaging endures wear and tear is essential for its longevity. Therefore, we are going to discuss why ink abrasion resistance matters for printed packaging materials and its role in ensuring the durability of packaging. So, let us get started!
 

What is ink abrasion resistance and why it is important to test abrasion resistance?

Ink abrasion resistance is a key factor in ensuring long-lasting packaging. Packaging that is subject to regular wear and tear can quickly become damaged and difficult to read, which can lead to product waste and decreased sales. Inks with high abrasion resistance can help to prolong the life of packaging and keep it looking its best for longer. There are a number of factors that contribute to ink abrasion resistance, including the type of ink, the printing process, and the surface finish of the packaging.
 
To ensure that printed materials will easily withstand wear and tear, our high-quality lab testing instrument has been designed to test the scuff resistance of packaging materials and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers.
 
You can easily evaluate scuff resistance in paper & packaging materials and ensure that these materials will not get scuffed when rubbed against each other.
 

Get High Quality of Packaging with Presto Scuff Resistance Tester

Packaging quality says a lot about the brand. It is the first sight which falls on the cover of any product. What if the packaging materials will get scuffed and all the necessary information will get removed from the packaging? It will not only deteriorate the packaging materials but also lead to high product rejection rates.
 
Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality packaging testing instrument known as the scuff testing instrument that can be used to test the abrasion resistance of printed materials so that they will not get scuffed easily. This high-quality lab testing equipment will provide highly accurate lab testing results under uniform load and specified movement. You will get a firm hold of the test specimen with circular clips/clamps.
 
In addition to its user-friendly electronic controls, the Presto scuff resistance tester NXG model also features an adjustable footrest that can be used to level the machine, ensuring that it is stable and accurate during testing. Presto is a leading manufacturer of scuff resistance testers and offers this quality testing instrument at the best and most affordable prices. Now, let us discuss the features and technical specifications of this quality testing equipment.
