SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON METHODS, APPROACH AND METRICS FOR THE DESIGN OF DROP-TESTED RIGID PLASTIC PACKAGING

Abstract

The One of the significant challenges in the industry, specifically in the design of rigid plastic containers (DEPR), is creating a container that can withstand the drop test, as this test is one of the requirements of the ASTM D2463(Daver & Demirel, 2012) standard. Additionally, we apply approaches that allow us to reduce time and improve resistance to the drop test. However, there is no state-of-the-art review that provides insights into the various engineering approaches focused on improving drop test resistance in rigid container design. The objective of this study is to provide a literature review of the different approaches applied to packaging design and engineering calculations aimed at enhancing drop test resistance (PC), and to understand the metrics used for evaluation. This study proposes a state-of-the-art review of research conducted on the design of rigid containers to improve resistance to the drop test. It includes a review of a total of 35 studies, examining applications of methods, approaches, and metrics in packaging design, utilizing mathematical approaches, statistical approaches, and machine learning approaches
