Compressive Performance Investigation between Thin Honeycomb Paperboard and Corrugated Paperboard of Flute A

Abstract:

Thin honeycomb paperboard(THPB) is an emerging carton material instead of corrugated paperboard(CPB) recently, public research results and comparative data have not yet found at present. CPB of flute A is selected as contrast material in the paper since its thickness and density are similar to THPB, then properties of two kinds of paperboard are researched and compared according to test methods of edgewise compressive strength for sandwich structure, flatwise crush strength and edgewise crush strength for corrugated paperboard. The results showed that the compressive capacity of THPB in edgewise compressive, flatwise crush and edgewise crush performance is higher than that of CPB of flute A. THPB can be applied to carton for large and heavy product, especially for the package under multidirectional compression.
