BCT Tester: Working Principle, Uses and Applications

The quality and construction of corrugated board have a direct effect on box performance. Board grade, liner properties, flute structure, and paper quality all contribute to compression strength.

Flute Type

Different flute profiles provide different levels of stiffness and cushioning. The selection of flute structure should match the requirements of the packaging application.

Moisture and Humidity

Corrugated packaging is sensitive to moisture. Increased humidity can reduce the strength of paper-based materials and consequently affect the compression performance of the box.

Box Design

The arrangement of panels, flaps, joints, seams, and other structural features can influence the overall compression strength.

Storage Conditions

Long-term stacking, temperature variation, humidity, and other environmental conditions may affect box performance over time.

Manufacturing Quality

Variation in board thickness, adhesive application, cutting, creasing, printing, and folding can influence the final strength of a box.
