Investigation of Strength and Migration of Corrugated Cardboard Boxes

Abstract

P aper and paperboard sheet materials obtained from an interwoven lattice of cellulose fibers made of cellulosic material like wood, linen or cotton [1]. The most important application of paper and paperboard is in corrugated paperboard packages. A corrugated cardboard consisting of a single corrugated layer sandwiched between two liner layers (Fig. 1). This product consists of a combination of the three layers stronger than each layer is individually owned. In addition to single wall, double wall and triple wall corrugated cardboards are also in current use. Double wall corrugated cardboards consist of gluing five layers of paper; one inner, one outer, one intermediate liner paper and two fluted papers and forming a double wall corrugated cardboard. Corrugated medium part of the cardboard is called as flute (Fig.2). Variations in flute height and number of flutes per unit of length defined as flute type (A, B, C, E)

The Power of Recycled Furniture in Preparing for and Recovering from Natural Disasters: Earthquakes

“…Few additional raw materials are required to produce finished boxes at corrugation plants. Cornstarch glue bonds the corrugated medium to the linerboards (Gok & Akpinar 2020). Large quantities of this glue are transported and kept in silos as a dry powder until needed.…”

Testing the Suitability of the Waste Packaging Cardboards for External Environmental Conditions to Reuse as Animal Shelter

“…The ECT test is related to the stacking capacity of the carboard box. It is also a test that gives information about the quality of the corrugated cardboard [12]. The main purpose of the ECT test applied in this study is to give information about the in-plane compressive strength of the cardboard.…”
