Packaging and shelf life tests with barrier paper

Qualification on packaging machines and in shelf-life tests

Proof of the good runability of barrier papers on standard packaging machines and the assurance of the shelf life of packaged products via shelf life tests under real operating conditions (e.g. in climate change tests) are of decisive importance for the successful conversion of packaging materials. We support our customers throughout the qualification process.

We test the runability of our papers on our own FFS machines, measure the coefficients of friction and optimize parameters such as web tension, running-in angle and seal strength for each packaging format. We conduct durability tests using our customers' original packaged goods under real operating conditions. In doing so, we evaluate both the suitability of the packaging paper and the quality of the packaged goods over the defined shelf life. We monitor the moisture content and active water of the the food procucts and also evaluate their quality using organoleptic methods.
