Historical Perspectives of Corrugated Box Testing for 2020 2021, 2021 TAPPICon Live (21TAPL)

In the age of e-commerce, corrugated packaging is experiencing a resurgence; at least consumers are receiving more corrugated boxes today than ever before. The corrugated box has been the main package for transporting goods for over 100 years, and corrugated board and boxes have been the focus of scientific study for about as long. For the last 50 years, box compressive strength has been the main focus of research and testing. That was not always the case. In addition, many boxes of today experience a different end-use life than their predecessors. The purpose of this presentation is to review some of the findings and insights found in the early days of corrugated research and place them in perspective of the performance expected of a box in 2021.
