Hi, thank you for the explanation. I still don't understand. When I use the compression strength? should I request that number to the supplier or can I determine the gsm for liners and flute (including flute type) based on compression strength value
If you are a corrugated carton buyer, you just have to tell your supplier that this is my box dimension and this is the compression strength I need. Let him worry about what flute type, flute qty and GSM he needs to use to achieve the compression strength you need. There is no easy formula, only an experienced Corrugator will have the data available to help him reverse engineer the specifications from your compression strength and dimensions.
Imagine wanting to make a house. You will tell the builder that I need a 4 bedroom house with 2 floors and 6 people will be living in it with these many bathrooms / kitchens / common room, etc. You wont tell him what type and how much cement, steel and wood to use. Will you ? Imagine if you do give all the details and the house doesnot turn up the way your expected, can you blame the builder ? The builder knows what to do. So does the corrugated box maker (when it comes to corrugated boxes ofcourse). Lets remain focused on the destination and not the path to the destination. You will be happier and safer that way.
Very well explained, it is very helpful. Thanks a lot 👍👍
Thank you. Your appreciation is appreciated 😊

@@PackTestMachinesInc aa thank you for the reply, i really need it so much!
i didn`t understand that please explain more
what is BS ? what is GSM?
BS = Bursting Strength (Mullen Test)
GSM = grams per square meter. (Grammage Or Basis Weight)
