Box Compression Testing (BCT) measures the compressive strength of a carton. It’s used to determine a carton’s behavior under crushing loads and its maximum load bearing strength.
The testing instrument applies a specific load to the upper area of a corrugated box to determine the strength of the carton.
Box Compression Testing is used to determine the strength of packaging and to ensure the safety of stacked loads. It also provides information about a carton’s ability to protect its contents from compression damages. Testing determines the exact time to carton failure and the point of critical deformation.
