An Edge Crush Tester (ECT) is a critical instrument used to evaluate the strength of corrugated board by measuring its resistance to crushing on the edge. This test determines the load-bearing capacity of packaging materials, helping manufacturers ensure that boxes won't collapse under stacking pressure. ECT is especially important in supply chain and shipping scenarios where packages face compression forces during handling and storage.
Importance in Packaging Quality:
By using an edge crush tester, packaging companies can optimize box design, reduce material costs, and maintain structural integrity. The data from ECT results guide decisions on box grade selection and help meet industry compliance standards. This ultimately enhances product safety, reduces transit damage, and boosts customer satisfaction—making ECT a vital part of quality control in corrugated packaging production.
