What Is a Peel Strength Tester?
A Peel Strength Tester measures the force required to peel apart two bonded materials. It’s used to test adhesive strength in items like laminated films, sealed packages, labels, and tapes.
The test is conducted by applying tension to bonded samples at controlled speeds and angles—usually 90 or 180 degrees—until the adhesive bond separates. The instrument records the amount of force needed to achieve this, providing a clear indication of how well your materials hold together.
Why Is Peel Strength Testing Important?
✅ Ensures Packaging Performance
Packaging failures can lead to spoilage, contamination, or customer dissatisfaction. Peel strength testing ensures your seals are secure enough to withstand handling, transport, and storage.
✅ Meets Industry Compliance
Industries such as food, healthcare, cosmetics, and electronics often require strict packaging standards. Testing allows you to comply with ASTM, ISO, and other global quality benchmarks.
✅ Drives Product Innovation
As you test new adhesives or sustainable packaging options, a peel strength test lets you compare materials and make data-backed decisions before going to production.
✅ Improves Consumer Experience
Nobody wants a package that tears too easily—or one that's nearly impossible to open. This testing helps achieve the perfect adhesive strength for usability and durability.

How the Peel Strength Test Works
Here’s how a typical test is conducted using Pacorr’s Peel Strength Tester:
Prepare the Sample: Cut bonded materials into a uniform size.
Secure the Sample: Clamp the ends into the upper and lower grips of the tester.
Set Parameters: Select the peel angle, speed, and duration.
Run the Test: The tester pulls the bonded materials apart under controlled tension.
View Results: The system displays the peel force in real-time, allowing for analysis and documentation.
These measurements help detect weak bonding, adhesive inconsistencies, or defects that could lead to packaging failure.
