PAPERBOARD WITH CORRECT
SOLUTIONS
bending grade board - ANSWER-- used for folding cartons
- bends easily and requires only shallow score at the bend point
- widely used
- can tell the difference by looking at both the printed side vs. the inside of the board
fibers
types of board - ANSWER-- clay coated newsback - coated on one side with clay (gray
or white coating). other side is natural. back side and filliplies are usually made of
recycled newspapers
- solid bleached sulfate - strong - fibers bleached prior to drying. only see white board
throughout whole structure. used for pharmaceutical applications and in beauty industry.
three basic design styles - ANSWER-- tube (straight tuck, reverse tuck, seal end)
- tray (beers, brightwood, walker)
- hybrid (milk cartons, ice cream)
layout - ANSWER-- CAD (computer automated design software)
- die board (cylinder or flat)
- coordinate with graphics electronically
scoring allowance - ANSWER-amount of material taken up in the fold (score), related to
board thickness
- the thicker the board, the higher the score allowance
solid fiberboard - ANSWER-- several plies of paperboard laminated together (laminated
with adhesive (sometimes a polymer (i.e. PE)))
uses of solid fiberboard - ANSWER-distribution packaging
- shipping containers
- dividers
- corner supports (for heavy items)
basic construction of corrugated paperboard - ANSWER-- corrugated medium (flutes)
- liner board
corrugated medium flutes (and order - largest to smallest) - ANSWER-A, B, C, E, and F
- A, C, B, E, F
