What is the 135° peel test?
The 135° peel test is a method for measuring the seal strength of semi-rigid packaging, typically where a flexible lid is sealed onto a rigid or vacuum-formed container.

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.
