  • Laminations for improved container compressive strength
    Patent number: 5447270
    Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in the top-to-bottom compressive strength of corrugated fiber containers through the use of a minimum amount of extra fiber. Such structures of this type, generally, employ strip and patch laminations which provide minimal additional fiber and maximal reinforcement in the areas of the corrugated container panels that are under the highest compressive stresses when the containers are subjected to compressive loads.
