Industrial (Heavy duty) corrugated board, when compared to conventional material, is stronger and resists moisture better, allowing greatly improved protection of valuable and fragile goods in storage and transit. The inital cost of industrial packaging may be higher, but overall logistics chain costs are improved by reducing waste losses from damaged goods. A better case saves money!
When considering the performance characteristics of Heavy Duty board, it is important to focus on those that are vital for high performance packaging:
- Safe stacking of packs
- Preventing bulge of case panels
- Life Time
Other performance characteristics than these are considered important, however not vital, for Heavy Duty corrugated board.
