Abstract
Corrugated boxes are essential for packaging products, demanding high quality to meet client expectations. Manufacturers prioritize quality control, with humidity content being crucial for box quality. This paper addresses moisture control challenges by adjusting Kraft paper's Cobb value. Comparing boxes with Cobb values of 30 and 40, the study measures moisture content and conducts compression and bursting strength tests. Results show that boxes made with Cobb value 30 Kraft paper exhibit better quality and lower humidity content. This approach offers insights into improving corrugated box quality by managing moisture levels and enhancing overall packaging performance.
