What is a Box Compression Tester?
A Box Compression Tester is a testing device that applies vertical pressure to a packaging box to measure its ability to withstand stacking loads. The test evaluates the box’s resistance to crushing under uniform force, helping determine whether it is suitable for transportation, warehousing, and storage conditions.
Pacorr's equipment is built for accuracy and repeatability, offering digital controls and precision sensors to generate reliable, real-time data for quality assessment.
Why Compression Testing is Essential
Compression testing is a critical step in the packaging quality process. It helps:
✅ Prevent product damage due to box collapse
✅ Ensure packaging meets industry and export standards
✅ Reduce material waste by optimizing box design
✅ Enhance customer satisfaction with secure delivery
✅ Build brand trust through dependable packaging performance
Pacorr’s Box Compression Testing offers the data-driven insights needed to improve packaging reliability and reduce operational risks.

How to Conduct a Box Compression Test
Place the box sample securely on the test platform.
Adjust the upper platen based on the box’s height.
Set test parameters such as speed, load, and limits.
Initiate the test. The top platen applies vertical force.
Monitor the applied load in real time via the digital display.
Record the maximum force at which the box deforms or collapses.
Export and save the data for analysis or quality documentation.
This test helps assess packaging strength before boxes are introduced into supply chains.
