Services offered
Lab Tests
For packaging structural, surface and physical characteristics analysis. They are aimed at supporting comparative analysis of substrates, characterization and application recommendations in various segments and uses.
Packaging System Analysis
With available testing structure and our technical knowledge, we carry out global analyzes of a packaging system, looking for the most suitable and economical alternatives.
Productivity Studies
Through PCA Bend Force and PCA Open Force analysis, in addition to other tests, we can determine the structures and substrates that guarantee greater efficiency in graphic production and filling systems.
Other customized services
We analyse your needs and propose specific activities for your specific case.
Tests and Analysis
Semi-analytical Scale
The weight analysis indicates the paperboard’s mass per area and is key for packaging systems.
Thickness Gauge
In some countries, paperboard thickness is the key metric, since it affects the crease and strength of the system.
TABR Stiffness Tester
Measures the paperboard’s stiffness both in the fiber and counterfiber directions, ensuring the package’s structure.
PCA Score Bend Tester
Analyzes the force required to assemble the packages and the individual resistance of the creases. This is an important test to guarantee filling quality.
COBB Tester
It measures how much water the paperboard is capable of absorbing, an important analysis for the packaging's life cycle.
Colorimeter
Measures LAB (brightness in the A and B axes) which allows comparing the paperboard’s whiteness and print color fidelity.
