Corrugated carton standards

Corrugated carton standards in other countries vary from country to country. Here is an overview of corrugated carton standards in some major countries or regions:

Formulating Agency:

fefco is the abbreviation of the European Carton Manufacturers Federation, and the standard is jointly formulated by European carton manufacturers.

Main Content:

fefco standards specify how cartons of different shapes, sizes and load-bearing capacities should be designed and produced. These standards are designed to ensure that cartons can meet specific performance requirements during transportation and use, such as compressive strength, burst strength, etc.

Application:

fefco standards are one of the most commonly used carton standards in Europe and are widely used in the transportation and packaging of various commodities.

Formulating Agency:

ASTM is the abbreviation of the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the standard is jointly formulated by the American Carton Manufacturers Federation.

Main Content:

ASTM standards mainly specify indicators such as the load-bearing capacity, strength, and seismic performance of cartons. These standards use a series of rigorous test methods, such as compression tests and burst tests, to evaluate whether the performance of cartons meets the requirements.

Application:

ASTM standards have a wide influence in the United States and are adopted by many carton manufacturers and users.

In addition to Europe and the United States, other countries or regions have also formulated their own corrugated box standards. For example:

Japan: The Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) include relevant standards for corrugated boxes, which focus on the environmental protection, recyclability and lightweight design of cartons.

Australia: Australia also has its own carton standard system, which is usually in line with international standards and revised and improved in combination with the actual situation of the country.

Kuwait: Kuwait has also formulated relevant standards for the size specifications of wooden boxes, cartons and car boxes, which are designed to ensure the stability and safety of cartons during transportation.

1. International standards

   In addition, there are some international standard organizations that have formulated relevant standards for corrugated boxes, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO standards have a wide influence worldwide and are adopted by many countries and regions. ISO standards usually cover the size, load-bearing capacity, strength, burst resistance, compression resistance and other aspects of cartons, aiming to ensure that the quality and performance of cartons can meet the needs of international trade.
