TAPPI T 804 Box Compression Test (Fiberboard Shipping Containers)
TAPPI T 804 is the box compression test for measuring how well corrugated or solid fiber shipping containers withstand compressive load. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What TAPPI T804 Covers
It measures the compressive strength of a complete shipping box, the direct indicator of how a container performs under stacking in storage and transit.
How the Test Is Run
A complete box is placed between the platens of a compression tester and loaded until it fails, with the peak load and deformation recorded as the box compression strength.
Why It Matters
Box compression strength protects goods through distribution; a large-platen compression frame with controlled loading is required.
