In international trade and transportation, there are several standard specifications for corrugated cardboard boxes. These standards help to ensure consistency in the size, strength, and quality of packaging materials used to transport goods. Some common standards for corrugated cardboard boxes include:
- FEFCO (Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Carton Ondulé) – A European standard that provides a common language and numbering system for corrugated box designs.
- ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) – An American standard that provides test methods and specifications for various materials, including corrugated cardboard.
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – An international standard that covers the testing and performance of corrugated cardboard boxes.
- JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) – A Japanese standard that provides specifications for corrugated cardboard boxes and other packaging materials.
These standards cover various aspects of corrugated cardboard boxes, such as their dimensions, strength, compression resistance, stacking ability, and moisture resistance. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers can ensure that their corrugated boxes meet the requirements of customers and are suitable for their intended use.
