A drop test is performed on corrugated boxes to test the sustained structural integrity of a carton when dropped from a certain height.
Drop testing ensures that your packaging can withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. This is important because you want to make sure that your product arrives at it’s destination in one piece and without any damage.
By conducting drop tests on cartons, manufacturers can identify any potential weaknesses in your packaging design. This information can then be used to improve the design to make it more robust.
Free Fall Impacts are the most commonly referenced drop tests. They simulate containers of various sizes being dropped from different heights and orientations. Distribution standards such as ISTA 3A and ISTA 2A dictate these variables.
