Abstract

This study was carried out to analyze changes of the physical properties of corrugated fiberboard boxes for fruits packaging by various moisture and temperature changes. There were significant decrease in burst strength with increased relative humidity. And also compressive strength(ring crush test) of corrugated fiberboard and box were reduced with moisture content. The decreasing amounts of single wall(SW) corrugated fiberboard was bigger than that of double wall(DW). The physical properties reductions of corrugated fiberboard and box were mainly affected by relative humidity. Therefore, it is suggested that development of the water-resistant corrugated fiberboard and box be useful under the condition of low temperature and high relative humidity such as the cold chain system.
