Packaging films are a better option to protect your products so they arrive at their destination in pristine condition. These packaging films can also provide a barrier between the product and the environment. It is important for packaging manufacturers to test the quality of films against free-falling darts in order to deliver accurate products to customers.
What is Packaging Film?
Packaging films are commonly used in the packaging industry to protect products from damage during transportation and storage. They also act as a barrier between the product and the environment, keeping the product safe from any damage. Packaging film is widely used in plastic film, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, low polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and other industries. Each has its own unique characteristics that make it a sensible choice for certain applications. PET film is a commonly used film type in the packaging industry. They are durable, lightweight, and have high tear strength. They are also water resistant, which makes them a no-brainer for accurate delivery to customers.
Testing the quality of these films with free-falling darts is an important part of the quality control process that ensures manufacturers ensure accurate product delivery to customers.
Introduction of dart impact testing machine
We all know that plastic films are easily damaged by the impact of a dart placed on the material. When the dart is dropped from a certain height, it will break these membranes. Inferior-quality packaging films can easily resist these impacts and are considered less durable. To ensure that no damage occurs when the material is delivered to customers, packaging manufacturers need to subject these plastic films to a dart impact test. This is where the Presto Dart Impact Tester comes into play. When a dart is dropped from a certain height, its weight will send a certain amount of energy to the sample being tested. Under these conditions, when dart impact forces are applied to the material, the specimen will easily crack or fail.
