Knowledge Center
Conventional packaging is based on specifications and standards dating back 40 to 50 years.Today, there are new ways of engineering materials. Methods for adapting the packaging to the real demands of the chain and to validate box performance over time in varying conditions – a concept we call True Performance. In this Knowledge Center, we share our packaging science insights with you.

Will your boxes make the journey?
Our scientific true performance testing gives you a unique understanding of how to optimize packaging for its demanding value chain. Stronger, lighter boxes can save up to 40% in material, as well as reduce your packaging CO2 emissions and product waste.
The ultimate bag-in-box
Thanks to its excellent paper strength and strong construction, our ultimate bag-in-box can save 15% in materials compared to the standard European solution. The construction ensures durability and preserved looks, even in demanding logistic chains. The outer liner has excellent printability and color reproduction, which enables quality visual effects and a lasting premium look with less washboarding, folding cracks and bulging.
Have you considered relative humidity?
Paper for boxes is usually tested at 50% relative humidity (RH). But corrugated solutions often have to handle up to 90% RH – always in cold-chain transport. This is our explanation of the phenomenon relative humidity.
Reduce washboarding with the right liner
There is elegance in nature's shapes. Beauty and grace in wrinkles. But washboarding in corrugated materials creates an unaesthetic topography and compromises print quality.
With corrugated boxes you can measure success
Reduce your carbon footprint for corrugated packaging.
There is no golden rule on how to create sustainable corrugated packaging. Instead, you have to think twice in many situations to make the right decisions. Learn more about where and why in order to minimise the total environmental impact in terms of CO2e.
Go circular. All the way.
Customisation is the future
A clever option for food contact
Packaging should protect its contents, not endanger it or the end user. In the absence of applicable food packaging legislation, this is why corrugated board made from primary fibres might be a clever option.
Tough challenges demand True Performance
To understand the true conditions that transport packaging is exposed to in the entire supply chain, we have developed a concept called True Performance. It is about validating box performance over time in varying conditions under constant load.
