Rubbing

Rubbing Resistance Testing is a critical quality control procedure in the printing and packaging industries. It determines how well a printed image, such as an ink or coating, resists damage, like smudging, scuffing, or transfer, when subjected to abrasive friction from another surface. This test is essential for ensuring print quality and longevity during product handling, transportation, and end-use.

Simulating Handling: The test mechanically simulates the abrasive forces that occur when printed materials are stacked, packaged, or handled, providing a quantifiable measure of durability.
Preventing Ink Transfer: The primary goal is to ensure the ink or coating stays fixed on the substrate and does not transfer to adjacent packaging (a defect known as “set-off”).
Specific Test Methods: Different methods, such as the dry rub (abrasion between two printed surfaces) and the wet rub (abrasion with a damp material), are used to replicate various real-world conditions like condensation or moisture exposure.
