RECYCLED PACKAGING

RECYCLED PACKAGING

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and recycled PET (rPET) packaging materials need to go through some tests and analyzes in order to determine parameters such as durability, whether they have been recycled before, and the purity of the packaging material.
PAPER

PAPER

Packaging materials obtained from many raw materials are used in food products. One of the most used materials today is paper, which is especially used for disposable packaging. Paper packages must go through some tests and analyzes to determine their physical durability.
METAL

METAL

Metal packaging is used especially for foods that are used in canned food, which are more affected by environmental factors and can be used for long-term storage. Products such as cheese, olives, corn, and peas are the products in which tin packaging is used the most.
PLASTIC

PLASTIC

Today, plastic is the most used packaging material due to its cheapness and ease of use. It is the type of packaging that we see most often on the market shelves, especially in single-use packaging.
GLASS

GLASS

Many materials, especially paper, metal and plastic, are used as packaging materials. However, especially in recent years, glass packaging is preferred because it is safer in terms of health. It is preferred in terms of security. However, since it comes into contact with food for a long time, it needs to pass some tests and analyzes.

Gelbo Flex Testing

Gelbo Flex Testi

"Gelbo Flex Test" performed on packages; can be explained as resistance to repetitive stretching.

In the Gelbo flex test, the package is crushed by repeatedly bending it in a twisting motion combined with a horizontal motion (compression).

The purpose of this test method is not to have zero cracks or tears, but rather to evaluate the performance of one material against another and the expectation that there will be cracks to be evaluated. It is an important test process in terms of determining the deformations that may occur during the transportation test of the packaging material, especially during vibration.

It is important to know beforehand the stretching, folding and compression properties of packaging materials without cracking.
