What is a Drop Tester?
A Drop Tester is a laboratory instrument used to measure a package’s ability to withstand impact when dropped from a height. It replicates the shock and force experienced during actual handling, transit, or accidental drops. By performing controlled free-fall tests, this equipment helps manufacturers evaluate how well their packaging absorbs impact and protects the contents inside.
This form of testing is crucial in identifying weaknesses in packaging design and improving overall product safety before the product enters the market.
Why Drop Testing is Important
Packaging is the first line of defense during shipping. Without proper testing, even high-quality products can be damaged, leading to customer dissatisfaction, increased returns, and financial loss.
Drop testing helps you:
Detect structural flaws in packaging
Reduce product breakage during delivery
Improve packaging design for better protection
Meet global testing standards (like ASTM D5276, ISO 2248)
Save money on replacements and damaged goods
Increase customer trust through reliable delivery
Performing drop tests as part of your quality control process gives you confidence that your packaging will hold up under pressure—literally.
