The BillerudKorsnäs Pack Lab at the Gruvön mill evaluates the strength of carrier bags, sugar and flour packaging and develops BillerudKorsnäs FibreForm® packaging solutions. Using unique equipment, we examine a multitude of functions by simulating the path of the packaging through demanding logistic chains until it reaches the store shelf – and suggest improvements.
Pack Lab Services
Drop test, compression test and carrier bag test
A drop test reveals how well packaging can withstand being dropped. During the compression test, it is subjected to heavy pressure to optimally simulate demanding transportation and storage. We also test packaging seals for strength, durability and speed in the production process.
Perception studies
Pack Lab also offers perception studies and analyses of the printability of paper and packaging. The laboratory offers support and knowledge transfer throughout the value chain – and plays a crucial role in expanding our expertise.
Thermoforming Services
Pack Lab’s Multivac form, fill & seal line is used to perform trials and prototyping on an industrial production line. The advantages include material validation, packaging trials and bulk sampling under industrial conditions. Online forming and sealing can be tested and the final packaging can be evaluated.
Barrier protection testing
Many materials are sensitive to moisture and water vapour in the surrounding air. In our barrier lab, we test a packaging’s protective properties. While evaluating the barrier properties of different material combinations, we also test oxygen, moisture and grease barriers.
