How Beneco’s Packaging Audit Report (P.A.R.) Improves Packaging Quality & Sustainability

Where innovation meets precision — and data drives every decision.

When it comes to folding cartons, beautiful design isn’t enough. Your packaging must perform flawlessly — from the production line to the customer’s hands. That’s where Beneco Packaging’s Packaging Audit Report (P.A.R.) comes in.

What Is the Packaging Audit Report (P.A.R.)?

The Packaging Audit Report is a comprehensive, data-driven evaluation that analyzes every aspect of your packaging — structure, print, materials, and sustainability performance.

Unlike a standard visual inspection, P.A.R. is powered by real testing data collected in Beneco’s in-house Quality Lab Room. This means every recommendation is backed by science, not opinion.

Through the audit, Beneco helps brands:

Detect hidden production inefficiencies
Optimize board and coating choices
Ensure print color accuracy and consistency
Benchmark packaging quality against industry standards
Advance sustainability and FSC® compliance goals

How the Beneco Lab Room Powers the P.A.R.

Behind every Packaging Audit Report is the Beneco Quality Lab Room — equipped with advanced instruments designed specifically for folding carton performance testing.

Here’s how we measure packaging quality across multiple dimensions:

Test	Purpose	Why It Matters
Ink Density & Colour Consistency (Spectrophotometer)	Checks print uniformity and color accuracy	Keeps your brand colors consistent batch after batch.
Score / Crease Bending Test	Evaluates folding performance	Prevents cracking or misfolding on automated lines.
Carton Opening Force	Measures force to open boxes	Ensures usability and avoids seam failures.
Caliper Measurement (Board Thickness)	Verifies paperboard thickness	Confirms supplier specs and folding accuracy.
Coefficient of Friction (Slip Test)	Tests surface friction	Prevents jams and feeding issues in high-speed lines.
Rub Test (Ink Abrasion Resistance)	Checks ink durability	Prevents scuffing and fading during transit.
Compression Strength Test	Measures vertical load performance	Ensures cartons survive stacking and shipping.
Moisture Content Analysis	Monitors paperboard humidity	Prevents warping, curling, and glue issues.

Each test produces quantifiable results, which are then integrated into your P.A.R. scorecard — assigning grades from A–D across six key audit pillars:

Structural Integrity, Print Quality, Folding & Gluing, Compliance, Sustainability, and Process Control.
