As packaging R&D manager, you are working hard to meet the 2025 goals for your packaging. You are testing with a variety of materials including paper-based packaging materials. But do you know whether your paper-based packaging is leak-tight? The Oxipack package leak testers can help you become 100% sure your products are packed in the best way possible.
Leak testing paper-based packaging
Paper is an increasingly popular alternative for plastic packaging. Developing new paper-based packaging can take a long time and the product properties are different from products such as PE and laminated packaging. Ensuring leak-tight packaging and the best-by date is of crucial importance.
Package leak detection of paper-based materials
The Oxipack leak tester tests in a dry and efficient way whether the packaging is leak tight or not. It can test different sizes of packaging without having to change settings or parts. No water is used in the testing process, allowing fast and reliable testing of all types of packaging including trials with paper-based packaging.
Leak testing of paper-based materials
How do you test your new paper-based material for leaks and airtightness? This is a whole new challenge due to the product properties of paper. Looking for bubbles is no longer a possibility since the packaging will be completely soaked and disintegrate. Oxipack has developed special settings for package leak testing of paper-based materials. You will receive a value to easily verify how leak the packaging is. These settings will help you change the settings in your packaging machine or seal bar, and you can instantly test the effects of small tweaks. Even peel-seals can be tested within 30 seconds and non-destructively.
You can either try, rent or purchase a Leak Tester from Oxipack for package leak testing of your paper-based materials. And when you send us samples upfront, we will get you started with the right settings and first results. Of course, you will get unlimited support from the Oxipack Engineers to help you make the most out of your R&D phase.
Leak testing seals of paper-based packaging
Paper-based packaging can be a bigger challenge than plastic-based packaging. The sealing will be more of a challenge, because the ease of sealing of the paper materials differ a lot. The Stationary Leak Tester will help you make sure your packaging is leak-tight and give you instant results on whether a new material will help.
Leak testing of carton cans
Next to leak testing of flexible packaging and metal cans, Oxipack can find the smallest leaks in paper-based cans as well. The Oxipack Can Leak Tester has been upgraded with smart software which distinguish the porosity of the carton from leaks. This is all done based on ASTM F2338-09 and without any added gas. In addition, when a leak is found, you will be given an indication of the size of the leaks.
