Relation Between Bursting Strength Of Cardboard Boxes With The Number Of Ply

Being a manufacturer of the packaging industry, if you are wondering that “Can I increase bursting strength by increasing my ply?” Here you will get the solution of your query.

Corrugated boxes are designed with the help of one or two ply and with the multi-layered type of plies. The sturdiness and the strength of the corrugated boxes are judged on the basis of the corrugated sheet that are used in designing the corrugated sheet. These corrugated sheets are classified into various categories namely, Single-face board, single wall with double face corrugated sheet, Double wall corrugated sheet that comprises of two plies and tri-walled or 3 Ply corrugated board which comprises of the 3 plies of a fluted paper. The number of plies can be added in a corrugated sheet to enhance the strength of the boxes. Hence, we can conclude that one can easily increase bursting strength by increasing the number of plies of a fluted paper to enhance the strength of the corrugated boxes.

This can be concluded on the behalf of the structure of the corrugated boards. The more the number of plies in the corrugated fiber sheet more with the strength of the corrugated box. Hence, the increase in a number of plies is directly related to the rise in the strength of the corrugated boxes. Apart from bursting strength, the strength of the corrugated boards can also be determined on the basis of various measurement factors like puncture resistance of sheet, edge crush resistance of sheet. These all factors can be calculated easily with the single testing instrument i.e. Bursting Strength tester.

Presto Stantest offers various models of bursting strength tester to their customers to fulfill the requirement of strength measurement of corrugated fiber sheets of a vast number of clients.
