easytotear
Easytotear is a term used in packaging, product design, and materials engineering to describe features that enable a controlled and effortless tear of a material, such as packaging film, paper, or labels. It denotes a design intent rather than a material property alone and is applied during product development and documentation.
Common implementations include perforations, score lines, micro-perforations, tear notches, and weakly bonded tear tabs that initiate
Applications range from consumer packaging and resealable pouches to tear-off coupons, medicine wrappers, and sachets. In
Design considerations include the location and orientation of tear initiation, spacing of perforations, material thickness and
Testing typically involves tear strength or tensile tests, peel tests, and user studies to assess perceived
Related concepts include perforation, scoring, tear strips, and tear-open packaging.
