    ISSN: 2395-3594 IJAET International Journal of Application of Engineering and Technology Vol-2 No.-3 Corrugated Board Structure: A Review M.C. Kaushal1, V.K.Sirohiya2 and R.K.Rathore3 1 2 Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering Department, Gwalior Institute of Information Technology,Gwalior, Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering 3 Departments, Gwalior Engineering College, Gwalior, M. Tech students Maharanapratap College of Technology, Gwalior, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrugated board is widely used in the packing industry. The main advantages are lightness, recyclability and low cost. This makes the material the best choice to produce containers devoted to the shipping of goods. Furthermore examples of structure design based on corrugated boards can be found in different fields. Structural analysis of paperboard components is a crucial topic in the design of containers. It is required to investigate their strength properties because they have to protect the goods contained from lateral crushing and compression loads due to stacking. However in this paper complete and detailed information are presented. Keywords: - corrugated boards, recyclability, compression loads. Smaller flutes offer printability advantages as well as I. INTRODUCTION structural advantages for retail packaging. Corrugated board is essentially a paper sandwich consisting of corrugated medium layered between inside II. HISTORY and outside linerboard. On the production side, corrugated In 1856 the first known corrugated material was patented is a sub-category of the paperboard industry, which is a for sweatband lining in top hats. During the following four sub-category of the paper industry, which is a sub-category decades other forms of corrugated material were used as of the forest products industry.

  • Corrugated 101! ! !Corrugated Vs
    Corrugated 101! ! !Corrugated vs. Cardboard! • The term "cardboard box" is commonly misused when referring to a corrugated box. The correct technical term is "corrugated fiberboard carton.”! • Cardboard boxes are really chipboard boxes, and used primarily for packaging lightweight products, such as cereal or board games.! • Corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely utilized in retail packaging, shipping cartons, product displays and many other applications ! requiring lightweight, but sturdy materials.! !Corrugated Composition! Corrugated fiberboard is comprised of linerboard and heavy paper medium. Linerboard is the flat, outer surface that adheres to the medium. The medium is the wavy, fluted paper between the liners. Both are made of a special kind of heavy paper called !containerboard. Board strength will vary depending on the various linerboard and medium combinations.! • Single Face: Medium glued to 1 linerboard; flutes exposed! • Single Wall: Medium between 2 liners! • Double Wall: Varying mediums layered between 3 liners! !• Triple Wall: Varying mediums layered between 4 liners! !Flute Facts! !Corrugated board can be created with several different flute profiles. The five most common flute profiles are:! • A-Flute: Original corrugated flute design. Contains about 33 flutes per foot.! • B-Flute: Developed primarily for packaging canned goods. Contains about 47 flutes per foot and measures 1/8" thick! • C-Flute: Commonly used for shipping cartons. Contains about 39 flutes per foot and measures 5/32" thick! • E-Flute: Contains about 90 flutes per foot and measures 1/16" thick! • F-Flute: Developed for small retail packaging. Contains about 125 flutes per foot and measures 1/32" thick! • Generally, larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength and cushioning.

  • Damping Package Design Using Structural Corrugated Board
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Damping Package Design Using Structural Corrugated Board PREFACE API 2015 Qi Zhang Katsuhiko Saito Kobe University Kobe University [email protected] [email protected] Katsushige Nagaoka TSK Coporation [email protected] ABSTRACT Packaging is designed to protect products from shock and vibration during transport. In recent years, paper cushioning materials, such as corrugated board and pulp molded packaging, are being increasingly used because they are environmentally friendly and easy to recycle. However, because no efficient packaging-design method yet exists for paper cushioning material, packaging engineers must rely on previous experience and the so-called trial-and-error method to design packaging. One reason for this situation is that, for most cases, the paper cushioning material used for protective packaging has a complicated structure and deforms after being subjected to repetitive shock and vibration. To address this shortcoming, we propose a damping design method for corrugated-board packaging that includes shock-absorbing and vibration damping elements. To verify that the resultant packaging functions as intended, we test three types of packaging in the following way: First, we use an existing design method to create cushioned packages and examine them via free-fall drop tests. Next, to test the robustness of packaging against vibration (i.e., for packaging destined for various modes of transport), we study the three packaging types by subjecting them to (i) vibration-only tests and (ii) drop-plus-vibration tests. For vibration-only tests, the packaging with highest static stress gives the best result, its “vibration fatigue” accounts for approximately 52% of the worst result given by packaging with the lowest static stress.

  • The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White Paper | the HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution
    White paper The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White paper | The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution Macrotrends driving the packaging market The packaging market is transitioning from foam/plastic to molded fiber (also known as molded pulp) packaging for sustainability reasons, with environmental packaging (i.e., replacing foam with paper) favoring the growth of this segment. The molded fiber packaging market is a worldwide industry, valued at $8 billion, and is the fastest-growing segment in the packaging market, with growth being fueled by growing consumer demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions, as well as the increase in take-out food and e-commerce.1 Asia-Pacific countries (APAC) are the biggest geographical market, especially China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The region is experiencing the highest growth and is expected to be the largest market by 2024. This growth can be attributed to the rising importance of disposable packaging,2 as well as the lower cost of tooling production in these areas, which presents a significant price advantage over other regions. The primary segments currently are food and beverage and electronics, which are estimated to have the highest growth. The increasing use of molded pulp products for the packaging of various electronic products (including mobile phones and accessories, computers, printers, modems, trimmers, and projectors, among others) due to its convenience, improved sustainability, and low cost are some of the factors contributing to the growth of this segment.2 Molded fiber manufacturing The thermoformed tooling segment is expected to outgrow other segments, propelled by increased consumer demand for high-quality molded fiber packaging and ongoing innovation driving down thermoforming-packaging manufacturing costs.

  • Effect of Horizontal Offset on Vertical Compression Strength of Stacked Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes
    R E S E A R C H Effect of Horizontal Offset on Vertical Compression Strength of Stacked Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes JAY SINGH1,*, S. PAUL SINGH2 and KOUSHIK SAHA3 1Professor, Packaging Program, Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 2Professor, School of Packaging, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 3Assistant Professor, Packaging Program, Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, CA ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of horizontal offset on the compression strength of stacked box configu­ rations. Four different boxes of varying sizes and similar board com­ binations, made from similar flute but different manufacturers were studied. The single box compression strength for each type of box was determined to represent as the control for this study. The com­ pression strength of control boxes were compared to overall strength of a three-high stack and in three different offset configurations. In ad­ dition, a set of perfectly aligned boxes stacked three high were com­ pression tested for comparison with control and mis-aligned stacked boxes. The stack configurations were offset either in the length, width or diagonally (both length and width) with an offset distance of 12.7 mm, 25.4 mm or 38.1 mm (0.5, 1, and 1.5 inches). 1.0 INTRODUCTION HE compression strength of a corrugated fiberboard shipping con­ Ttainer is affected by various factors including but not limited to dimensions, flute size, basis weight of linerboards/medium, exposure to temperature and humidity, creep, stacking configuration, as well as shipping and handling. Some of these climatic and physical factors can contribute towards the natural variation and degradation in the fiber­ board and box compression strength or the box’s ability to stack and support other filled and loaded boxes during storage and shipping.

  • 1 Fibre Box Handbook Glossary Adhesive
    Fibre Box Handbook Glossary A Adhesive: Substance capable of adhering one surface to another. For fiberboard boxes, the substance is used to hold plies of solid fiberboard together, to hold linerboard to the tips of flutes of corrugated medium, or to hold overlapping flaps together to form the joint or to close a box. Anilox System: Inking system used in flexographic presses. B Bale: A shaped unit, usually containing compressible articles or materials, enclosed in a fiberboard container not conforming to the carriers’ rules for a box, or enclosed in other wrapping, and bound by strapping, rope or wire under tension. Banded Unit: A package or palletized load that has a band or bands (usually plastic) applied to it. Bar Code: An identification symbol. Alpha or alpha-numeric information is encoded in a sequence of high-contrast, rectangular bars and blank spaces. The relative widths of these bars and spaces and their sequence differentiate the individual characters that make up the encoded information. Bar codes are “read” by electronic scanners. Basis Weight (of Containerboard): Weight of linerboard or corrugating medium expressed in terms of pounds per 1,000 square feet (msf). Bending: In the expression "proper bending qualities," the ability of containerboard or combined board to be folded along score lines without rupture of the surface fibers to the point of seriously weakening the structure. Blank or Box Blank: A flat sheet of corrugated or solid fiberboard that has been cut, slotted and scored so that, when folded along the score lines and joined, it will take the form of a box.
