A Box Compression Tester (BCT) measures the maximum compressive load a corrugated fibreboard box or carton can withstand before buckling or collapse — the primary QC test for the packaging industry. Compliant with IS 7028 (Part 7):1981, TAPPI T804 om-12, ASTM D642 and ISO 12048, the box compression tester ensures packaging boxes can survive warehouse stacking, transit loads and handling without failure. Used by corrugated box manufacturers, FMCG companies, pharma packagers, e-commerce fulfillment centres and paper testing laboratories. JS Civil Lab Solutions supplies digital box compression testers with digital force display, data output, and calibration certificate. Available in 500 kg to 5,000 kg capacity models.

A Box Compression Tester (BCT) is a universal compression testing machine designed to measure the maximum compressive load that a corrugated fibreboard box, carton, or container can withstand before it buckles or collapses. It is the most important quality control instrument in the packaging industry — ensuring that boxes and cartons can carry the loads they are designed for during stacking, storage, and transportation.
JS Civil Lab Solutions supplies digital box compression testers to corrugated box manufacturers, FMCG companies, pharmaceutical packagers, e-commerce logistics teams, and paper testing laboratories across India.
