Experimental Investigation of Influence Factors for Compression Strength of Thin Honeycomb Paperboard Box

The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the influencing factors of box compression test (BCT) strength that made by the thin honeycomb paperboard (THP). Box type of thin honeycomb paperboard box (THPB) is FEFCO-code 0201. Boxes are tested respectively which have different direction of paperboard, different structure size and opening hole. The results showed that: BCT strength is consistent with the strength of longitudinal and transverse of THP; Structure size of THPB-length breadth ratio, perimeter and height-has great impact on BCT strength; Opening hole of side panel has a great influence on BCT strength of THPB. The direction of paperboard, structure size and opening hole on BCT strength are needed to be focused when THPB is manufactured by carton processing, and the results have important significance for the application of THPB.
