Paper and Cardboard Testing with a Texture Analyser – Part 1

Corrugated cardboard roll
Reliable Testing for Packaging and Print
 
Corrugated cardboard is used all over the world for strong, cheap and light recyclable packaging.

It is made up of a fluted interior sandwiched between linerboards. Variations include a linerboard on only one face, or several stacked layers. It is generally made into cardboard boxes, although occasionally used in sheet form for strengthening or insulation purposes. Most boxmakers perform a wide range of tests on their products as well as the components used to make them. Many boxes are made to certain customers’ demands, and the aim of these tests is to maximise strength (meeting the customer’s needs) while minimising costs from component materials and weight.
