In the world of flexible packaging, quality control isn’t just a formality — it’s a fundamental pillar of trust between manufacturers and customers. At Zhongjia Printing, we believe that great products are those that can stand up to rigorous verification. As an eco-friendly flexible packaging manufacturer, our commitment extends beyond sustainability — we prioritize performance, reliability, and compliance through industry-leading quality control methods.
Why Quality Control Matters in Flexible Packaging?
Defective packaging can lead to product contamination, leakage, shortened shelf life, and even brand damage. According to a 2023 industry report by Smithers, over 12% of food product recalls were directly related to packaging failures. This reinforces the importance of strict quality assurance in every batch of flexible packaging.

Zhongjia Printing has invested in an independent in-house lab equipped with advanced testing tools and staffed by experienced technicians. Every production batch undergoes recorded, itemized inspections to reduce risk and uphold our promise of quality.
Our Commitment to Eco-Friendly Packaging with Water-Based Ink
As part of our sustainability mission, we use water-based inks with VOC emissions strictly controlled to be under 10%, far below many traditional industry thresholds. Each ink batch undergoes:
- VOC Content Testing
- Color consistency tests (ensuring deviation <5 on the colorimeter scale)
This ensures that our packaging meets global environmental compliance standards while maintaining excellent print quality and brand consistency.
In-House Testing Equipment and Procedures
Our lab is equipped with modern flexible packaging testing equipment designed to evaluate both material input and final output. The key tools include:
- Calipers for film thickness testing
- Coefficient of friction testers
- Tensile strength machines
- VOC online monitoring systems
- Residual solvent analyzers
These instruments help us execute precise tests throughout every production stage — from raw material verification to post-curing performance checks.
Core Testing Methods for Flexible Packaging Performance
Leak Test for Flexible Packaging

Every batch is sampled and subjected to leak detection using vacuum chambers or water immersion methods. This ensures our pouches, films, and sachets meet tight sealing standards — especially for food, beverage, or pharmaceutical use.
Bond Strength and Adhesive Consistency

Before lamination, we test adhesive viscosity and bonding properties. During production, our team monitors real-time results to prevent delamination or weak seals. The final laminated films are tested using bond strength testing equipment to confirm structural durability.
Burst Strength Test of Flexible Food Packages
We conduct burst strength tests on selected samples using controlled air pressure to identify any weak points or inconsistencies in the seal area. This is essential for high-barrier or pressurized products.
Friction and Tensile Testing

We test the coefficient of friction to ensure smooth machine handling and consumer usability. Additionally, tensile testing evaluates film stretch and strength under load, critical for heavy or bulky goods.
Testing the Flexibility of Packaging

We evaluate how flexible materials respond to bending, crumpling, and handling stress. This test ensures the packaging won’t crack or delaminate during shipping or on-shelf usage.
