Medical packaging

The ability to peel off dimensionally stable or rigid packaging depends on material combinations, machine parameters, and on sealed seam and tear-off geometries. The most important value is the cracking force, but the regularity of the sealing is also significant. Peel forces can be tested with a special peel test kit.

This compression test on vial lids indirectly provides information on the seal integrity.

Pharmaceutical packaging often uses screw caps to make products childproof.

Secondary packaging and transport packaging are primarily made of paper and cardboard and must protect the product but also facilitate easy removal.
