Container compression test

It is commonly used to evaluate shipping containers made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates.

Industrial and consumer packages other than boxes can also be subjected to compression testing: drum, pail, bottle, tub[1] etc.

Corrugated shipping containers are exposed to compression hazards during storage and shipment.

There have been efforts to estimate the peak compression strength of a box (usually empty, regular singelwall slotted containers, top-to-bottom) based on various board properties.

Fiber Box Association have a method for calculating the required compression losses which includes the following factors: Containers can be subjected to compression forces that involve distribution dynamics.

Vehicle vibration can involve a stack of containers and create dynamic compression responses.
