A package’s integrity is important across numerous industries from food to medical. It must withstand unpredictable climate and high-altitude conditions during the transportation process. Making predictions and preparing a package for various scenarios is a process, yet luckily, there are products made specifically for this purpose which makes your job a whole lot easier.
Bubble Leak Test Method
Bubble leak testing is a simple, yet effective way to test a package’s seal and overall integrity. The method is performed by submerging the package in a water filled chamber, engaging a vacuum device that causes the package to expand, and then watching for bubbles. If bubbles begin to rise from a certain part of the package, you can determine there is a leak present.
The ease of bubble leak testing makes it a quick and simple way of guaranteeing to your customers that your product’s packaging is dependable once it leaves your facility. Continual package leak testing as a maintenance will help to detect problems ahead of time and will prevent a whole line of defect packaging from reaching the customer. This saves money and maintains quality.
