What is torque testing?
Torque testing measures the rotational force required to turn or twist an object. In packaging, it is most often applied to closures such as caps, lids and twist-top mechanisms to ensure they open and close within defined performance limits.

What is a three-point bend test?
A three-point bend test is a widely used method for determining the flexural properties of materials. It involves applying a load at the midpoint of a specimen supported at two points, creating a bending force.

Compression Testing in Top Load Applications
A typical challenge in packaging, and bottling applications is trying to balance product integrity, where the container might be too weak and crush under load, and excessive raw material cost, where the container is too strong.
