Pallet stacking in long-haul ocean containers subjects bottom cartons to immense static and dynamic compression loads.
Using the McKee formula, engineers predict compression failure based on board caliper, perimeter, and ECT values.
Relative humidity above 80% degrades fiber rigidity by up to 50%; calculating a 4.5x safety multiplier prevents carton collapse.
Whether you need custom mailer boxes, folding cartons, or sustainable molded pulp inserts, TadaPack provides instant 3D dieline generation, automated structural load audits, and flexible low MOQ production from 1 unit.
