What is a Drop Tester?
A Drop Tester is a laboratory instrument used to assess the strength and shock resistance of packaging materials. It simulates vertical drops that might occur during the handling and transportation of goods. The primary purpose is to determine if a package can protect its contents after an impact.
Pacorr’s Drop Tester delivers consistent performance and precise results. Built to conform with international standards such as ASTM D5276 and ISO 2248, it is suitable for a wide range of packaging applications across industries.
How Drop Testing is Performed
Drop testing involves placing a packaged product onto a designated platform and releasing it from a controlled height. The drop mimics accidental falls during warehousing or shipping, helping quality teams evaluate how well the packaging absorbs impact.
Standard drop test orientations include:
Flat Drop – Testing the top or bottom surface of the box
Edge Drop – Dropping the package on its edge to simulate stress on joints
Corner Drop – Dropping on the corner to evaluate the weakest point of the box
Each drop reveals how the packaging behaves under pressure and whether it adequately protects the product inside.
Industries That Use Pacorr’s Drop Tester
Drop testing is essential across a wide range of industries, especially where packaging plays a critical role in product safety and compliance. These industries include:
Corrugated and folding box manufacturing

Pharmaceutical and medical device industries
Food and beverage packaging
Automotive parts and industrial supplies
No matter the industry, if your product moves through a distribution chain, drop testing is a vital step in quality assurance.
