In today’s fast-moving logistics and supply chains, product safety depends heavily on the strength and reliability of its packaging. Even the smallest drop during transport can result in serious damage if packaging fails. That’s why manufacturers across industries trust Pacorr’s Drop Tester—a high-precision machine designed to simulate real-world drop conditions and evaluate packaging performance under impact.
Whether you're shipping electronics, pharmaceuticals, food products, or industrial components, drop testing helps ensure your packaging holds up under pressure—and your product arrives intact.
What is a Drop Tester?
A Drop Tester is a mechanical testing instrument used to assess the ability of a package or product to withstand sudden impact. It simulates a vertical drop from a specific height to mimic accidental drops during handling, transportation, or storage. By measuring how well the packaging absorbs shock or protects the contents inside, drop testing helps manufacturers detect potential points of failure and improve overall design quality.
Why Drop Testing is Essential
In warehouses, distribution centers, and delivery systems, packages are constantly handled—often roughly. A well-designed product is only as good as the packaging that protects it. Drop testing helps reduce risks associated with damage in transit by identifying weaknesses before they become costly problems.
Key Benefits:
Prevents product damage during shipping
Reduces returns and customer complaints
Optimizes packaging design and material use
Ensures compliance with ASTM D5276, ISO 2248, and other standards
Supports quality control and regulatory audits

Types of Drop Tests You Can Perform
Pacorr Drop Testers allow for a wide range of test configurations, simulating different drop scenarios:
Flat Drop: Drop on the top, bottom, or side surfaces to test face impact resistance
Edge Drop: Simulate damage when a package lands on its edge
Corner Drop: Evaluate structural integrity at one of the most vulnerable points
Custom Drops: For non-standard items or packaging types
These tests help validate how packaging performs under stress—helping you fine-tune design and ensure safety.
Industries That Rely on Drop Testing
Drop testing is a critical quality control step for businesses that depend on secure packaging:
E-commerce Retail – Minimize breakage and enhance customer satisfaction
