Crease and Board Stiffness Tester CBT1
Standard delivery time: 4-6 weeks
Article number:
The CBT1 Crease & Board Stiffness Tester measures both carton crease recovery and board stiffness to many international standards including BS6965 and PMI 068.
Measurement of these parameters gives carton board manufacturers, printers, and packaging companies the ability to predict the ‘run-ability’ of a sample board or finished carton before committing valuable materials or machine time.
Board stiffness and crease recovery are key characteristics that affect the running performance of cartons on high-speed packaging machines.
Applications include:
- Printed cartons
- Flexible packaging
- Printing, Rubber
- Linoleum, Leather, Paper
- Foils, Coatings, Plastics
- Textiles, Composites
Who measures board stiffness and crease resistance?
Board stiffness and crease resistance are important measures that indicate how a finished carton will run on an automated gluing, filling, or packaging line.
Substrate manufacturers, printers, converters, and any manufacturer who fills or packs products in cartons can use this measurement to optimize production.
QA departments use these instruments to check the running attributes of finished cartons prior to conversion and filling, reducing lost production time from slow-running or difficult-to-convert packaging.
