Abstract
Experimental tests were carried out, which led to determination of resistance of packages to free fall drop as well as resistance of plastic packages to deformation during compression under the influence of vibrations. Packages of different size and shape were used during testing. Graphic dependences of compression loads and deformations of the packages were obtained and the maximum values of compression loads and deformations after free fall drop tests were established. The obtained results and conclusions of investigations are applied for the determination of characteristics and qualities of packaging materials and packaging design
