Mechanical measurement on paper, corrugated board and cardboard

Standard and non-standard measurement on paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard. The lab has a standardized climate of 23 degrees Celsius and 50% rh.

ZD testing

In paper and paperboard the out-of-plane ZD properties are often much lower than the in-plane properties and can cause delimination in the board. In order to improve packaging performance it is therefore important to measure out-of-plane ZD-properites.

Hygroexpansion

Moisture-induced dimensional changes have a significant effect on the runnability of paper and paperboard in converting operations. This phenomenon of hygroexpansion is also largely responsible for web and reel defects such as curl, twist, cockling, waviness and long edges of the paper material.

Metrology / Service

Combined tensile and torsion tester

Combined torsional and axial (tensile & compression) loading capabilities with customized grips and clamps. Ideal machine for advanced packaging testing with complex load cases.

Accelerated aging

The laboratory at RISE Packaging Excellence Centre is certified by ISTA and is one of the most well equipped and advanced laboratories in all of Scandinavia for testing packaging and packaging materials. We conduct tests in a controlled environment according to international standards.

Shear strength profiles

Out-of-plane shear properties are often very critical in paperboard. The out-of-plane shear strength is much weaker than the in-plane strength. Shear damage are therefore often causing failure. In the creasing operation paperboard will be loaded in shear, which is utilized to make purpose made damage to improve foldability and package performance.

Leak Test

The laboratory at RISE Packaging Excellence Centre is certified by ISTA and is one of the most well equipped and advanced laboratories in all of Scandinavia for testing packaging. We carry out tests according to international standards, to ensure the performance of the packaging.
