Packaging protects the produce against mechanical hazards such as compression, impact, drop or vibration during distribution, ensuring its safe delivery to the consumers in a sound condition, at a minimum cost. Ventilated corrugated paperboard (VCP) packaging is being used extensively for handling fresh produce due to its capability to promote uniform and rapid cooling. However, the presence of ventilation openings jeopardises the strength of the package which could result in produce damage. As it is of utmost importance to ensure that the produce reaches its final destination without damage, continuous improvement in the package strength is paramount. Hence, this project aimed to gain a better understanding of the structural performance of VCP packaging to enhance the development of better and improved package designs. Firstly, a validated finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed to study the structural performance of an existing VCP package. This model incorporated some geometrical nonlinearities of the package. Paper and paperboard characterisations were done to determine the tensile properties, edge compression resistance and flat crush resistance. The tensile properties were used as input parameters in the model. The model was able to predict the compression strength of the package, and showed good agreement with experimental results, within 10%. Package liner thickness had a linear relationship with the compression strength. The stress in the package was found to be concentrated and a maximum at the corners. Subsequently, the FEA model was used to assess the strength of different package designs with emphasis on the influence of different geometrical configuration. The model was validated with experimental results. Increasing the vent area of the package reduced its compression strength. Packages manufactured with double- walled corrugated board performed better than single-walled board irrespective of the design, with the difference in strength as high as 72%. This study showed the importance of knowing the paperboard properties in the design of a package to improve its strength. Furthermore, the creep behaviour of different package designs was evaluated, and results showed load and environment conditions as significant factors affecting the creep rate. Increasing the applied load and relative humidity (RH) as well as reducing the temperature, accelerated the creep rate of the package. Also, package configuration also had a significant effect on the creep rate. Finally, to understand the deformation phenomenon of packages subjected to compression load, the displacement field of different designs was studied using digital image correlation (DIC), a full-field non-contact optical measurement technique. Findings showed that the distribution of the package displacement is iv Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za largely heterogeneous. The displacement field in the out-of-plane direction was the largest while that in the horizontal direction was the smallest. Buckling was found to be a predominant phenomenon occurring at the centre of the package panels. Overall, this study provided empirical and numerical evidence for the design of improved packages, balancing the need for adequate structural performance and optimum cooling functionalities of the package. v Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Verpakking speel 'n deurslaggewende rol in die vermindering van na-oesverliese, veral in die hantering van vars tuinbouprodukte, en dit sal moeilik wees om daar sonder klaar te kom. Verpakking beskerm die produk teen meganiese skade as gevolg van druk, impak, val of vibrasie tydens verspreiding. Dit verseker die veilige aflewering van die produk, in ‘n veilige toestand en teen minimum koste, aan die verbruiker. Geventileerde gegolfde karton (GGK) verpakking word omvattend gebruik vir die hantering van vars produkte as gevolg van sy vermoë om uniforme en vinnige verkoeling te bevorder. Die teenwoordigheid van ventilasie openinge belemmer egter die sterkte van die verpakking wat tot skade aan die produk kan lei.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: May 3, 2017 Accepted: June 29, 2017 Online Published: July 25, 2017 doi:10.5539/ass.v13n8p103 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v13n8p103 Abstract The objectives of this research were to study and design packaging, test its efficiency, and determine the satisfaction levels of consumers with the structure and graphic design of a craft wooden boat model packaging produced from corrugated board using natural extract to prevent termites. Data collection was conducted using focus groups of producers and consumers. Data was then summarized and used for the design and creation of the model packaging. Suggestions from experts were applied to improve the packaging of the craft wooden boat model; its preventive efficiency was then tested and the satisfaction of consumers was assessed. The results of the package structure test showed that bursting strength was 8.66 kgf/cm2, edge crush test was 3.86 kg/cm and drop height was 762 mm, which reaches standards ASTM D 774, ISO 3037 and ASTM D 5276, as well as helping prevent termites from biting. The size and design were portable and suitable to be displayed for sale.

VARIABILITY, NON- UNIFORMITY, AND COMPLEXITY: FROM PRODUCT TO PROCESS Tetsu Uesaka Fibre Science and Communication Network (FSCN), and Department of Chemical Engineering, Mid Sweden University, SE- 851 70, Sundsvall, Sweden 1. INTRODUCTION The variability in process and product is part of our life in the industry. For example, in the headbox jet speed and temperature are constantly changing at different frequencies; cross-machine direction elastic stiffness has a typical inverse-smile pattern across the paper machine width; qualities of pulp bale often vary from one shipment to the other. For many years, the industry has been tackling this problem in different unit processes. Particularly in today’s competi- tive market, achieving consistency and uniformity is a necessary condition for staying in the market. Accordingly the subject has been heavily investigated in process control area in terms of control methods (adaptive control, multi- variable control, and expert system), sensor developments, and process modeling and simulation. (A comprehensive review of contemporary process control is provided in [1–2].) This review paper deals with the same subject but from a slightly different angle, i.e., performance perspective. In the beginning, it may not be obvious why performance problems are those of variability and non- uniformity. However, this problem almost always emerges as a central theme at the end.

  • Models and Software for Corrugated Board and Box Design
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED11 15 - 18 AUGUST 2011, TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK MODELS AND SOFTWARE FOR CORRUGATED BOARD AND BOX DESIGN Vahid Sohrabpour1 and Daniel Hellström2 (1) Lund University, Sweden (2) Lund University, Sweden ABSTRACT To design and develop boxes which protect, and at the same time utilize fiber material efficiently, models and software for predicting corrugated board and box properties are needed. The purpose of this research is to provide propositions toward improving the use and development of models and software for corrugated board and box design. By using an abductive approach, 18 models and four software for predicting corrugated board and box properties were identified, compared, and categorized depending on the needs of different supply chain actors. Eight of the models use paper properties for predicting board properties while ten models predict corrugated box properties. In order to decrease the gap between theory and practice new insights, in the form of propositions toward improving the use and development of models and software for corrugated box design, are suggested. A holistic perspective for modeling corrugated board and box is proposed and enables practitioners and researchers to identify causes to variation in predictions by considering control and noise factors. Keywords: Prediction model, simulation, packaging design, corrugated, board, box 1 INTRODUCTION Corrugated boxes have been used for protecting products for over a century. To design and develop boxes which protect, and at the same time utilize fiber material efficiently, models and software for predicting corrugated board and box properties are needed. Without these predictive models and software the corrugated industry needs to produce a set of samples and conduct physical tests which involve high costs and require more time.
