Why Testing Impact Resistance Matters

Impact resistance testing is crucial for coatings used in packaging due to several reasons

Product Safety Coatings on packaging materials must withstand various environmental conditions, including drops, falls, and other forms of impact. A coating that fails to resist impact can compromise the safety of its contents, leading to costly recalls or even injuries.
Brand Reputation Packaging with coatings that are prone to cracking, peeling, or breaking can reflect poorly on a companys image. Regular testing helps maintain brand integrity by ensuring packaging materials meet quality standards.
Regulatory Compliance Many industries, such as food and pharmaceuticals, have strict regulations regarding packaging material durability. Testing impact resistance ensures compliance with these guidelines, preventing costly fines or penalties.
