Description:

Compressive strength testing is crucial in simulating transportation packaging as it is an important parameter for evaluating the suitability of packaging. During the packaging design phase, it is necessary to select appropriate packaging structures considering factors such as expected stacking layers, logistics environment, etc., to withstand the pressure hazards. If the compressive strength of the transport or storage unit is insufficient, it can lead to undesirable consequences such as stack collapse or damage to the contents.

The shape of the corrugated box, orientation of its flutes, and other factors can affect the compressive strength of the entire box. During the design phase, it is common to conduct a maximum pressure test on empty boxes to determine the maximum pressure they can withstand.

During the actual transportation process, the pressure experienced by packaging boxes is closely related to environmental temperature and humidity, stacking layers, cargo density, stacking time, and other parameters. Therefore, the compressive strength of external packaging is not simply determined by stacking multiple items of equal mass on top of it. Instead, it requires consideration of many factors, and this value is significantly higher than the stacking weight of actual transport units.
