For paper and cardboard packaging, tear strength is the force perpendicular to the plane of the sheet of paper required to tear multiple layers over a given distance after tearing has begun. The final result is stated in mN/fold.
It is usually tested using Elmendorf type tear tester. The Elmendorf type tester is a device that applies the force and measures the loss in potential energy of the pendulum equal to the work done when tearing the paper.
Tear index = Tear strength/gram, specified in mN.m2/g.
