The Drop Tester is designed to evaluate the drop resistance of packaging materials and products under controlled testing conditions. It simulates the impact that a package may experience during handling, storage, and transportation.
To perform the test, the specimen is placed on the machine’s supporting flaps or platform and positioned according to the required test procedure. The specimen is then released from a specified height to create an impact. After the drop test, the specimen is inspected to assess packaging damage, structural weaknesses, and overall drop resistance.
The test results help manufacturers identify potential packaging failures and improve product protection during shipping and handling.
The Drop Tester supports testing in accordance with ASTM D5276. Customisation for ISTA 1A and ISTA 3A testing may be available on request, depending on the instrument configuration and applicable test requirements.

FAQ's
The drop tester is simple and easy to operate the instrument and is used by packaging manufacturers to check the drop strength of corrugated boxes. The drop tester helps the user in performing the drop strength from an elevated level. After the test, the user can check and ensure the quality and durability of their corrugated boxes
During drop testing, a corrugated box or packaged product is dropped under controlled conditions in different orientations, including corners, edges, and faces. This helps identify weaknesses in the packaging and assess its ability to withstand impact during handling and transportation.
Different types of drop tests evaluate how a product or package responds to varying impact conditions. The test results help manufacturers identify potential damage risks and make improvements to packaging design, strength, and protective performance.
