The Importance of Compression Resistance Testing

for Mobile Phones and Digital Product Packaging

Mobile phones, tablet computers, headphones, smart watches, and other digital products have become essential items in people’s daily life, work, and entertainment.

From the production workshop to the hands of consumers, digital products must go through multiple stages such as warehouse stacking, long-distance transportation, and sorting and handling. Professional packaging compression resistance testing can ensure packaging protection capability and help avoid potential risks.

1: The Role of Packaging Compression Resistance Testing

During the warehousing stage, in order to improve space utilization, packages are usually stored in multiple stacked layers. The bottom packages need to bear the weight of all the packages above them. The purpose of packaging compression resistance testing is to evaluate the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of packaging under compressive conditions, thereby verifying whether it can effectively protect internal products in real logistics environments.

Only by determining the ultimate load-bearing capacity of packaging through precise compression resistance testing can packaging design be optimized in a targeted manner, avoiding product damage during circulation.

Taking the LCD Model Box Compression Strength Tester GT-N02A as an example, this multifunctional high-precision compression testing machine is specially designed for testing the compression resistance performance of various types of packaging. It can accurately test common packaging materials for digital products such as corrugated cartons, plastic packaging, and wooden boxes. With a maximum compressive strength of 30 kN, it fully covers the testing requirements of packaging for small and medium-sized digital products such as mobile phones and tablets.

2: Professional Compression Testing Machine

GT-N02A Type box compression tester with multi-function and high precision is designed to test the compressive strength of standard size corrugated box, or packages and containers made of other material with a compressive strength smaller than 30kN. With advanced mechanical structure of a pair of threaded shafts &guide pillars and imported motor for control, the carton box compression tester has the following salient features: good parallelism, reliable measure precision and high return speed（250mm/min.）

Box compression tester is capable of various functions for all parameters in standards, Such as parametric test, display, memory, statistics and print function; data processing function to gain the statistical result of all parameters directly; and automatic reset and fault diagnosis function and easy operation.

3: GT-N02A Compression Tester Supports Multiple Test Functions

Strength test
Strength test which belongs to a destructive test is mainly used to measure the deformation when the sample is loaded with maximum pressure or crushing strength.

Constant Value Test
There are two parameters which are to be set in the constant value test: load force value and deformation value. The user can set one or both of them according to the practical requirement. the measure is complete when any parameter reaches the set value.

Stacking Test
Stacking Test is used to check up that whether the sample can endure a constant pressure in a given time period. Set up two parameters: compressive strength and testing time (hour).
when the test starts, the system will check the current pressure at any moment to ensure the set value; the measure is complete when the test time is expired or the deformation value exceeds the set one within testing time.

4: Compliance with International Standards

Carton Compression Test Standards:

ISO2872, ISO2874, ASTM D642, ISO 12048

These standards clearly specify requirements for testing equipment, sample preparation, testing conditions, and data processing, ensuring that test results from different companies and different regions are comparable.

V. The Impact of Packaging Compression Resistance Testing

Providing support for enterprises to optimize costs and enhance brand competitiveness.

On the one hand, through compression resistance testing, enterprises can accurately understand the performance of packaging materials and avoid excessive packaging. On the premise of meeting compression resistance requirements, packaging materials can be reasonably selected and packaging structures optimized, reducing material consumption and transportation costs. For example, through testing, it may be found that a certain package using double-wall corrugated cartons can be replaced with single-wall high-strength corrugated cartons, which can ensure compression resistance performance while reducing packaging production costs and logistics transportation weight, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

On the other hand, high-quality packaging protection capability reflects a brand’s sense of responsibility and can effectively enhance consumer satisfaction and brand trust. When consumers receive products in perfect condition, they will form a positive perception of the brand.
