What is a Drop Tester?
A Drop Tester is a precision testing instrument used to measure the impact resistance of packaging. It simulates free-fall drops from controlled heights to test the structural integrity of cartons, boxes, and containers.
Pacorr’s Drop Tester provides a standardized way to assess how well packaging protects its contents under stress. The system adheres to international testing protocols, including ASTM D5276 and ISO 2248, making it suitable for global quality compliance.
How Drop Testing is Conducted
Drop testing involves positioning the packaged item on a platform and releasing it from a defined height. The impact simulates accidental drops during warehousing, transportation, or delivery.
Tests are performed in multiple orientations for complete assessment:
Flat Drop – The package lands flat on one surface
Edge Drop – The edge of the box absorbs the impact
Corner Drop – The most vulnerable point is tested for maximum stress resistance
Each test reveals how well the packaging absorbs shocks and whether it protects the contents from damage.
