Technical services
High levels of quality require us to maintain tight tolerances on the physical characteristics of the materials used. Through the Abbey laboratory we monitor the performance on in-coming and out-going materials to ensure they meet our exacting specifications.
Abbey is able to offer a range of advisory services and test procedures. Dependant upon the nature of the enquiry the services may be subject to an appropriate charge. (Link to listings/charges)

Measurement |
||
| Edge Crush (ECT) | Kilo Newton per m (kN/m) | ||
| Burst | Kilo Pascals (kPa) | ||
| Flat Crush (FCT) | Kilo Pascals (kPa) | ||
| Caliper | microns (µm) or mm | ||
| Cobb | grams per m2 (g/m2) | ||
| Pin Adhesion | Newtons per metre (N/m) | ||
| Board Constituent Analysis | grams per m2 (g/m2) | ||
We also offer the ability to test finished cases via the Macklow Smith compression tester. This test calculates the maximum load that a corrugated case can withstand before the case collapses. It is particularly effective when looking to review material specifications and material performance when considering alternative materials
