Containers can be seen everywhere in our daily lives and the materials they are made of also vary. For example, plastic bottles have been used for food like water, milk and yogurt, daily necessities such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Metal containers have been used for canned food. Wood containers have been used for general storage, crafting as well as plant display shelf. There is an increasing demand for the analysis of closure integrity, brittleness and ductility performance of containers.
