Seal Strength Test This test is performed to establish seal ASTM F88 No. of pouches
strengths on packaging materials such as and no. of
blisters, pouches and header bags. Tests can samples per
be either supported (180°) or unsupported pouch:
(90°) depending on customer requirements.
Burst Testing This test determines seal strength by means of ASTM F1140
internal pressurization
Dye Penetration Seal integrity of seals formed between film ASTM F1929
Testing and porous / non porous material. ASTM F3039
Bubble Leak Packaging is internally pressurized such that ASTM F2096
Testing bubble leaking will occur if a defect of a pre-
determined size exists within the packaging.

Slip Testing / This test is used to determine the starting and ASTM D1894
Coefficient of sliding friction of plastic film, sliding over itself
Friction or other substances.
Tensile Testing This test is used to determine the mechanical ASTM D882
properties of a test substrate such as tensile
strength and elongation.
Breaking Force Determines the resilience of the material, ASTM D5035
and Elongation of applies a force until the sample breaks, (i.e.
Textile Fabrics Tyvek).
Gelbo Flex Testing This test is used to determine flexural ASTM F392
resistance of a material by applying repetitive
strain through a combination of twisting and
compression motion. Measures resistance to
pin holing.
Bendsten Porosity The test determines the air permeance of a ISO 5636-3
Testing porous substrate by measuring resistance to
airflow through a material.
Puncture Test Driven probe, force to penetrate, puncture. ASTM F1306
Dart Drop Impact Impact Resistance of plastic film by Free- ASTM D1709
Falling Dart Method, determines the energy
needed to cause plastic film to fail under the
impact of a free-falling dart.
Yield Testing This test method is used to determine area per ASTM D4321
unit mass of flexible materials.
Determination of Basis weight per unit area. ISO 536

DSC Testing This is a thermo-analytical test which is used ISO 11357-1
to measure properties such as transition onset ISO 11357-3
temperatures and enthalpy transitions.
FTIR Spectroscopy This is an analytical test which applies infrared ASTM E1252 Section 7.9 and 11.4
light to a substrate and provides a chemical ASTM E573
“fingerprint” for the material under analysis
