1、根据纤维板箱协会的网上资料，把有关瓦楞纸箱的一些定义和概念介绍一下。英语比较简单，就不做全文翻译了，只将重要的词汇在英语的后面标志出中文供大家参考。大家如果认为这样的资料对你的工作有帮助，请多在后面跟贴给我点鼓励。我发现论坛里的人看贴的多，回贴的少。其实所有的贴子都是大家工作的结果，希望大家尊重别人的劳动，在享受便利的同时，至少对别人的劳动表示一下敬意，算做上网的一种礼节吧，给大家提个醒了！WHAT ISTHE CORRUGATED?Corrugated fiberboard or "combined board" has two main components: the

2、liner (面纸）and the medium (芯纸). Both are made of a special kind of heavy paper called containerboard (箱板纸).Linerboard (瓦楞纸箱外层的高强箱板纸) is the flat facing that adheres to the medium. The medium is the wavy, fluted paper (楞纸) in between the liners.COMMON BOARD STYLES 常用纸板的种类Single Face: One med

5、same principle to paper when they put arches in the corrugated medium（瓦楞芯纸）. These arches are known as flutes （楞）and when anchored to the linerboard with adhesive, they resist bending and pressure from all directions.When a piece of combined board is placed on its end, the arches form rigid columns,

6、 capable of supporting a great deal of weight. When pressure is applied to the side of the board, the space in between the flutes acts as a cushion（垫子） to protect the container's contents. The flutes also serve as an insulator (绝缘体, 绝热器,保温层）, providing some product protection from sudden tempera

7、ture changes. At the same time, the vertical linerboard provides even more strength and protects the flutes from damage. Flutes come in several standard shapes or flute profiles (A, B, C, E, F, etc.). A-flute （A楞）was the first to be developed. B-flute was the next and is much smaller than A-flute. C

8、-flute followed and is between A and B in size. It is also the most common large flute profile. E-flute is smaller than B and F-flute is smaller yet. Due to variances in flute sizes between manufacturers, FBA no longer publishes flute guidelines.In addition to these five most common profiles, new fl

9、ute profilesboth larger and smaller than those listed hereare being created for more specialized boards. Generally, larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength （垂直压力）and cushioning, while smaller profiles provide better resistance to process and printing crush.Different flute

10、 profiles can be combined in one piece of combined board. For instance, in a triple wall board, one layer of medium might be A-flute while the other two layers might be C-flute. Mixing flute profiles in this way allows designers to manipulate the compression strength, cushioning strength （减震强度、缓冲强度）

Corrugated is an extremely durable, versatile, economical and lightweight material used for custom-manufactured shipping containers（运输容器）, packaging and point-of-purchase displays（销售展示包装，即所谓POP展示包装）, in addition to numerous non-traditional applications ranging from pallets（货盘、托盘） t

16、 Ongoing R&D （研发）programs continuously improve such characteristics as strength-to-weight ratios（强度与重度的比率）, printability, moisture barriers （潮气阻隔） and recyclability. 2. Corrugated components, designs and end products are manufactured on sophisticated, automatic equipment that reduces costs

The vast majority of corrugated products are designed and prototyped with advanced, computer-aided design （CAD）and manufacturing systems, providing customers with the best and most cost-effective solutions to their packaging challenges.Infinitely Customizable.C

26、ne of the least expensive containers ever developed, the overall cost of corrugated shipping containers is usually between one percent and four percent of the value of the goods they carry. The cost of labor and tools required to produce, fill, and move the container is low. The cost of shipping is

27、low, due to lower weights and higher fill densities than alternative packaging. The trend toward light weighting will continue to drive down shipping costs. Low raw material costs and mass production of corrugated containers makes them particularly cost-efficient. The ultimate contribution to cost r

Environmentally Responsible.Corrugated, made from a natural renewable resource, has a great environmental record. Corrugated is frequent

The dimensions of a box are described based on the opening of an assembled box, which can be located on the top or the side, depending on

33、 how it is to be filled. The opening of a box is a rectangle; that is, it has two sets of parallel sides. The longer of the two sides is considered its length, the shorter of the two sides is considered its width. The side perpendicular to length and width is considered the depth of the box. Dimensi

36、Symbol GuidelinesWhat Does the Corrugated Recycles Symbol Mean?The term Corrugated Recycles is both a statement of fact and a way to promote recycling. By printing the symbol on corrugated products, the corrugated customer and ultimate consumer are aware of corrugated's inherent recyclability.Placing the symbol on a corrugated container does not indicate that "this container is made from recycled material." Rather, it simply means that "this container can and should be recycled."When Do I Use the Corrugated Recycles Symbo
