Product packaging does more than protect — it speaks for your brand. But scuffed, scratched, or faded packaging can reduce shelf appeal, confuse consumers, and even cause product rejection.
With Pacorr’s Scuff Resistance Tester, manufacturers can ensure printed materials, labels, and packaging surfaces withstand the challenges of transport, storage, and handling.
A Scuff Resistance Tester is a quality control device used to measure the resistance of printed or coated surfaces to rubbing, abrasion, and scuffing. It replicates the friction materials experience during real-world conditions such as shipping, stacking, and handling.
This test is widely used across industries including:
Pharmaceuticals
Food & Beverages
Cosmetics
Consumer Goods
Printing & Packaging
Scuffing can damage important printed information, barcodes, labels, or graphics — affecting product quality, legal compliance, and brand reputation. With scuff resistance testing, you can:
✅ Protect product appearance during shipping and handling
✅ Ensure critical information remains visible and intact
✅ Comply with industry standards and regulations
✅ Improve customer satisfaction and brand trust
✅ Reduce the risk of product rejection and rework
Pacorr’s Scuff Resistance Tester is designed for accuracy, ease of use, and durability:
Digital Display for clear, real-time readings
Adjustable Speed & Rubbing Cycles to match testing needs
Consistent Load Application for reliable results
Compact, Sturdy Construction for long-lasting use
Standards Compliant (ASTM, ISO, and other global standards)
Two samples — typically printed or coated materials — are placed face-to-face. Under controlled pressure, one surface rubs or rotates against the other for a set number of cycles. After testing, the material is inspected for:
Fading of print
Surface damage
Visible scuff marks
This simple yet effective process provides insight into packaging durability before your product reaches the market.
