What is Corrugated Material?
Corrugated material, also known as corrugated cardboard, is a versatile packaging material composed of three layers: two flat outer layers called linerboards and a wavy inner layer known as the corrugating medium. The fluted inner layer provides strength and flexibility, while the outer layers offer rigidity. Corrugated material is valued for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability. It provides excellent protection, is lightweight for efficient transportation, and is made from renewable sources. It is widely used in various industries due to its strength, versatility, and environmental sustainability.

The Edge Crush Test (ECT) is a standardized testing method used to evaluate the edge crush resistance of corrugated cardboard materials. It measures the ability of the material to withstand pressure applied to its edges without collapsing or deforming.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Edge Crush Test (ECT) is to assess the stacking strength and load-bearing capacity of corrugated cardboard. By subjecting the material to controlled pressure, the test determines its resistance to compression along the edges, providing valuable information about its ability to protect packaged goods during transportation and storage.
Application:
The Edge Crush Test (ECT) is widely employed in the packaging industry to ensure the strength and reliability of corrugated materials. It is particularly important when packaging goods that require stacking or are subject to heavy loads. By conducting the ECT, packaging professionals can make informed decisions about material selection, packaging design, and load-bearing capabilities. The ECT value obtained from the test helps meet industry standards, comply with regulations, and ensure the packaging’s ability to withstand external forces encountered throughout the supply chain.

The Mullen Burst Test is a standardized testing method used to assess the burst strength of corrugated. It measures the ability of the material to withstand internal pressure without bursting or breaking.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of the Mullen Burst Test is to evaluate the strength and durability of corrugated for packaging applications. The test determines the maximum pressure a material can withstand before bursting, providing valuable information about its resistance to external forces and the ability to protect the contents during transportation and storage.
Application:
The Mullen Burst Test is widely utilized in industries such as manufacturing, distribution, and logistics to ensure the quality and reliability of packaging materials. By conducting this test, packaging engineers and designers can select appropriate materials, optimize packaging designs, and ensure the integrity and safety of packaged goods. The burst strength value obtained from the test helps determine compliance with industry standards and regulations, ensuring that packaging meets the necessary requirements for strength and performance.
