EN 14477 is the test method for the puncture resistance of flexible packaging materials. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 14477 Covers
It measures the force and displacement to puncture flexible packaging films and laminates by a probe, relevant to packaging durability.
How the Test Is Run
A clamped flexible-packaging specimen is punctured by a probe at a controlled rate, and the force and displacement to puncture are recorded.
Why It Matters
Puncture resistance governs packaging protection; a probe fixture and accurate force-displacement measurement are used.
