Development of a High Stacking Strength Container

Abstract

The U.S. Army Natick Research, Development, and Engineering Center is interested in developing high stacking strength containers to improve space utilization in warehousing and shipping. This contract examined the opportunity to add stacking strength by impregnating a 'stiffener' resin into the container linerboard. A successful resin treatment was developed (one of four treatments evaluated) composed of a food grade mixture of sodium silicate and kaolin clay. The treatment added approximately 12% to 14% to the basis weight of the linerboard.
