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. -
Guidelines on Stability Testing of Cosmetics
COSMETICS EUROPE: GUIDELINES ON STABILITY TESTING OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO CTFA AND COSMETICS EUROPE MARCH 2004 03/094 - MC GUIDELINES ON STABILITY TESTING OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS March 2004 I. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION General The purpose of stability testing cosmetic products is to ensure that a new or modified product meets the intended physical, chemical and microbiological quality standards as well as functionality and aesthetics when stored under appropriate conditions. Because the development cycle of cosmetic products is relatively short, and also, in order that the testing activity does not become economically disproportionate in view of the multitude of product launches each year, each manufacturer must have at their disposal tests that are adapted to their activity. Each manufacturer should design their stability testing program such that it is reasonable and efficiently addresses the testing required. This document aims to set out guidelines in order to predict and assure the stability of products in the market place. Its purpose is to aid manufacturers of cosmetic products in the selection and the refinement of the appropriate stability tests. Although this guideline can provide a helpful starting point, it is important that manufacturers carefully evaluate new products and technologies and, where appropriate, adapt their testing to reflect differences between product types and formulations. However, all methods assuring the final stability of a cosmetic product against the categories cited in paragraph below, if it is at least equivalent to the recommendations of the following chapters, are considered as valid. Procedures must be put in place and documented within the manufacturer’s internal system. -

The Effect of Creasing Lines on the Compression Strength of Adjustable Height Corrugated Boxes
RESEARCH ARTICLE The Effect of Creasing Lines on the Compression Strength of Adjustable Height Corrugated Boxes PREFACE API 2015 Péter Csavajda Péter Böröcz Széchenyi István University Széchenyi István Universtiy [email protected] [email protected] Ákos Mojzes Bence Molnár Széchenyi István University Széchenyi István Universtiy [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Due to its high strength and low density, the corrugated fibreboard (CFB) box is one of the most popular types of packaging all over the world. This packaging device is able to fulfil a huge number of requirements of the logistic process, during the phases of handling, shipping and storage. In addition to this, corrugated packaging is easily machinable, so it is also suitable for special supply chains and products. These special needs include the requirement to fit to the inner measurements of the shipping device, e.g. the shipping container. This is particularly expected in case of less than container-load (LTL) shipments, where the shipping cost is usually based on the required area (m2) or cubic capacity (m3) of the container, so the useful filling of the shipping device is a very strong advantage. Naturally, this is easily solvable with different CFB boxes which have different heights, but this way the user needs to stock a high variety of boxes, requires a good relationship and cooperation between the parties and also a proper knowledge of product organisation in each box version. The multi-depth corrugated boxes are a suitable solution for resolving this problem. These boxes are creased at multiple intervals, so they are easily cuttable to the desired various heights. -
