Several factors influence the compression strength of a corrugated box , determining how well it can withstand stacking and handling pressures during storage and transportation. Understanding these factors helps manufacturers produce durable and cost-effective packaging.
The primary factor is the quality of the corrugated board —including paper grade, GSM (grams per square meter), and the type of fluting medium used. The flute type and count (A, B, C, E, or F) affects cushioning and stacking strength, while liner thickness contributes to rigidity and resistance to deformation.
Moisture content is another crucial factor. Excess humidity weakens the paper fibers, reducing compression strength. Therefore, maintaining controlled storage conditions and using moisture-resistant coatings or liners can improve box performance.
Box design and dimensions also play a significant role. Improper height-to-width ratios or uneven load distribution can lead to premature collapse. manufacturing, quality , such as glue joints, creasing accuracy, and cutting precision, additionally affecting the overall durability.
Regular testing using a Box Compression Tester ensures that these variables are optimized for maximum performance. Presto Group , a trusted name in packaging testing instruments, offers high-precision Box Compression Testers that help manufacturers measure and enhance the load-bearing capacity of corrugated boxes with reliable, repeatable results.
