As a reliable manufacture factory of plastic pouch located in Qingdao, China, here we are going to share the most reliable method we take to determine if a plastic pouch is qualified.

Pressure Test

When the plastic pouch is intended for liquid products, such as juice, olive oil, washing chemicals, liquid fertilizer, water, etc, pressure test is a reliable way to check its strength. We will fill certain volume of water into the plastic package, and apply certain pressure from the top. When the pressure reaches the expected value, then it should keep for a period of time, and if the package do not break or leak, then it should be taken as well qualified.
