Packaging line downtime is very expensive for companies with automatic form and fill lines. Where this downtime is traced back to failures in the packaging materials, responsibility is likely to fall with the manufacturers of the packaging. That is why packaging manufacturers use the Newton Carton Tester to test their cartons to ensure they are supplied to specification.   As a result they find a significant improvement in quality & subsequent reduction in returns thus thus reducing costs and improving customer service.

The quality of the creases and the 'slip' between the carton's surfaces all have significant impact on the overall quality of the finished carton. The quality of the crease is measured by crease strength, Box Forming and Spring Back Forces. The ‘slip’ between adjacent flat cartons is measured by the co-efficient of friction.

The Newton Carton Tester delivers valuable data on all these parameters, collecting data on 4 individual measurements into a single database for easy analysis, offering many benefits to Carton Manufacturers

• Reduced Returns
• Reduced cost of Die Changes and hence reduced production costs
• Improved Customer Services
• Improved Product Quality
