Abstract

Proper test methods and instruments for evaluating score or creasing crack have not been provided, although score crack trouble occurs frequently in manufacturing corrugated containers. Because existing creasability tester has the limitation of the available thickness of test piece and folding rate, it cannot be used for corrugated fiberboards with high thickness. In this study, we developed the laboratory test instrument and the method to determine the score or creasing crack of corrugated fiberboard. This instrument can evaluate folding resistance of corrugated board without restriction on the folding rate and thickness of specimen. Corrugated fiberboard had the different folding behavior from linerboard when it was creased. By using this test machine, score crack can be objectively determined by folding test piece to the certain folding angle with constant folding rate.
