The Effect of Pallet Top Deck Stiffness on the Compression Strength of Asymmetrically Supported Corrugated Boxes
… in uneven, or asymmetrical support of the corrugated boxes. This asymmetrical support could significantly affect the strength of the corrugated boxes, and it depends on the top deck stiffness of the pallet. This study is aimed at investigating how the variations of pallet top deck stiffness …

Investigation of the Environmental Effect of Unit Load Design Optimization Using Physical Interaction Between Pallets and Corrugated Boxes
… system in unit load form consisting of pallets, corrugated boxes, and load stabilizers. Hence, it is important to holistically understand the environmental impact of not only individual packaging levels, but also the unit load form. We can use the interactions between the unit load components to …

Investigation of the Effect of Corrugated Boxes on the Distribution of Compression Stresses on the Top Surface of Wooden Pallets
… of this study was to investigate the effect of a corrugated box's size and head space on pallet deflection and stress distribution on the top of the pallet as a function of pallet stiffness across multiple pallet support conditions. Data analysis identified that box size had a significant effect …

Creep properties of corrugated fibreboard containers for produce in simulated road transport environment
Standard methods for the performance testing of corrugated fibreboard boxes use some static or quasi-static characteristic of the box as the performance indicator. The aim of this project was to develop a performance-based test method for corrugated boxes for fresh horticultural produce, using a …

Finite Element Modeling of Plastic Pails when Interacting with Wooden Pallets
… strategies. The relationship between corrugated boxes and pallets have been previously investigated and have found that the relationship can be used to reduce the quantity of material used in unit loads and can also reduce the cost per unit load if the package and pallet are designed …

Investigation into load bridging effect for block class pallets as a function of package size and pallet stiffness
Pallets and corrugated boxes are ubiquitous in the global supply chain. However, the interactions that exist between the boxes and pallet are ignored during the pallet design process resulting in an over design of pallet performance and the waste of raw materials. The goal of this research is to …

The Effect of the Stiffness of Unit Load Components on Pallet Deflection and Box Compression Strength
… When pallets are loaded with packages such as corrugated boxes or returnable plastic containers, due to their physical shape, packages, are not capable of deforming freely with the pallet and a bridging phenomenon occurs. During this load bridging phenomenon, a portion of the vertical forces …

Evaluation of the MD shear test method as a criterion for predicting box compressive strength
Corrugated board is a composite sandwich type material used in the packaging industry worldwide. In the design of corrugated boxes, the stacking strength is an important design parameter. Current research shows that box failure is influenced by the flexural rigidities of the panel and its transverse …

Modeling of the fundamental mechanical interactions of unit load components during warehouse racking storage
… capabilities provided by the use of pallets and corrugated boxes. Current pallet design methodologies frequently underestimate the load carrying capacity of pallets by assuming they will only carry uniformly distributed, flexible payloads. But, by considering the effect of various payload …

Prediction modelling of pallet overhang on box compression strength
… is critical for maintaining the integrity of corrugated packaging in global logistics. This study presents an expanded empirical analysis and predictive modelling framework to quantify the impact of pallet overhang on BCT. An integrated dataset that combined data from previous research with …

Effect of Pallet Deckboard Stiffness and Unit Load Factors on Corrugated Box Compression Strength
Corrugated paper boxes are the predominant packaging and shipping material and account for the majority of packaging refuse by weight. Wooden pallets are equally predominant in shipping, transportation and warehousing logistics. The interaction between these two components is complex and unexplored …
