To help manufacturers avoid these problems, Pacorr offers the Scuff Resistance Tester — a reliable tool to evaluate the durability of printed and coated materials against surface wear.
What is Scuff Resistance Testing?
Scuff resistance testing measures how well a material can withstand rubbing or abrasion over time. This is especially important for packaging that’s handled, stacked, shipped, or displayed frequently.
During the test, two samples are rubbed against each other under pressure for a set number of cycles. The result helps identify if the printed surface will remain intact or if it’s likely to fade, blur, or peel.
Applications of Scuff Resistance Testing
The test is essential for materials used in:
Printed cartons and packaging boxes
Self-adhesive labels
Product wraps and flexible films
Coated paper and laminated sheets
These materials are found across a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, and consumer goods.
