Bursting strength
High bursting strength allows a packaging to retain its shape, even with high pressure is applied vertically (e.g. in piles).

General information
Bursting strength is the greatest possible equally distributed pressure that the cartonboard can resist without breaking under test conditions, with pressure applied vertically to the test sample.
Additional details – practical relevance
The burst pressure is used to determine the strength of fiber materials. It is an important criterion for the resistance of packaging material during transportation stresses. This method is mainly used for testing corrugated board and liner grades.
