Abstract
In this study, forty corrugated fiberboard (CF) boxes for fresh produce were collected from farms located in Gyeongsan city and evaluated its characterizations and physical properties according to Korean Standard (KS). The basis weight, flute, and paperboard combination were determined for the characterizations of CF boxes. The measured basis weights of all samples were within the tolerance limit referred to KS and the flutes were B/F, EB/F, and AB/F flute, respectively. The bursting strength (BS), edgewise crush resistance (ECR), and compression strength (CS) were tested to evaluate the physical properties. There are four single-walled (SW) CF boxes showed BS and ECR higher than 638 kPa and 3.30 kN/m, respectively. One SW CF boxes showed BS and ECR higher than 785 kPa and 3.43 kN/m, respectively. In case of double-walled (DW) CF boxes, sixteen CF boxes showed BS and ECR higher than 785 kPa, 4.96 kN/m (AB flute), or 4.90 (EB flute), respectively. The other nineteen CF boxes showed BS and ECR higher than 981 kPa, 5.29 kN/m (AB flute), or 5.20 (EB flute), respectively. All the CF boxes except two samples showed the acceptable compression strength in reference to the guideline of KS.
