Pacorr’s Scuff Resistance Tester helps manufacturers ensure that printed and coated surfaces retain their appearance throughout handling, shipping, and storage.
What is a Scuff Resistance Tester?
A Scuff Resistance Tester is designed to measure the ability of a printed or coated material to resist surface damage caused by rubbing. It replicates real-life conditions where surfaces come into contact and experience friction over time.
This test is commonly applied to:
Product labels
Folding cartons
Printed packaging films
Laminated papers and coatings
By simulating repeated surface contact, the machine assesses how well a material holds up against daily wear.
Why Scuff Testing Matters
Even the most well-designed packaging can fail if the surface degrades too easily. Scuff marks, smudging, or faded text can compromise branding and readability. Performing scuff resistance tests helps:
Preserve the professional look of packaging
Maintain clarity of essential printed information
Comply with quality control standards
Reduce customer complaints and product returns
