Packaging Supplies Company''s boxes are "200 lb burst test" certified. (We do carry some "275lb burst test" certified boxes too.) This means that the corrugated walls of the box would require 200 pounds per square inch of force to break through the wall of the box. The burst test has been a standard certification for years. More recently a new certification test has started to be used called the Edge Crush Test (ECT). Generally, 200lb test boxes are 32 ECT. ECT is the edgewise-compressive strength, parallel to the flutes of a short column of corrugated fibreboard. Test results are reported as the pounds per inch required causing compression 4milbag failure. ECT relates directly to box compression strength which is important in today''s world of box stacking.

Pressure sensitive tape is 4milbag relatively 4milbag inexpensive, 4milbag provides a good bond for many carton sealing applications and is easily applied with an inexpensive tape gun. Water activated tape is constructed of kraft paper backing and sometimes includes fiberglass reinforcement.
