DIN 53142-1 is the test method for the puncture resistance of board by driving a defined puncture body through it. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What DIN 53142-1 Covers

It measures the energy or force to puncture paperboard and corrugated board, an indicator of packaging robustness.

How the Test Is Run

A puncture body is driven through a clamped board specimen, and the puncture energy or force is recorded.

Why It Matters

Puncture resistance governs packaging protection; a puncture fixture and accurate measurement are used.
