In modern high-speed packaging machines it is very important to have the creases in boards correct and uniform, this is where the IDM Crease and Stiffness Tester comes in. 

The value of crease stiffness is technically important in the folding of carton blanks during their erection and closure.

Whether this is by hand or by mechanical means. The crease recovery (spring back) can result in forces, which distort the erected carton or cause stresses to be applied to closures, which reduce
their effectiveness.

With the Crease and Stiffness Tester, the Crease recovery is determined by the decrease in resistance offered by creased board after it is folded 90° at the crease measuring the recovery force after 15 seconds. Board Stiffness is determined by bending a 50mm length of board through a 15° angle.
