The Scuff Resistance Test in packaging industries evaluates a material’s ability to withstand rubbing or abrasion during handling, transportation and storage. The test typically involves subjecting the packaging material to controlled rubbing using an apparatus or standardized equipment. The extent of scuffing or damage is then assessed visually or through specified measurement methods.

This test is crucial for assessing the durability of packaging materials, ensuring they maintain their visual appeal and integrity throughout the distribution chain. Standardized procedures, often following ASTM or ISO guidelines, help maintain consistency in conducting scuff resistance tests across the packaging industry.
