Tests and assessment of quality of the packagings in the aspect of their application in transport processes

Abstract

Packagings play an important role in economy. In transport, they are used to secure all kinds of products from sender to consumer. Due to growing and changing needs of the market, packagings must have appropriate aesthetic qualities and resistance to external factors that may occur during transport. Therefore, it is important to constantly adapt packagings in the context of complying with standards of transport of products. The goal of the article was to analyse and assess selected properties of packagings of cosmetic products in the aspect of  transport processes. Strength tests (compression test, tensile test), test of resistance of the packagings to high temperature and test of changes of properties of the packagings using an immersion method were conducted. An analysis of conducted tests gave an answer for the question whether packaging properly protect products in a transport process.
