STANDARDS FOR FABRICATION

This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the

Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Designation: D5118/D5118M − 22

Standard Practice for Fabrication of Fiberboard Shipping Boxes1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5118/D5118M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.

1. Scope*

1.1 This practice covers the fabrication of new fiberboard

boxes, liners, and sleeves.

1.2 This practice points out the factors and components that

must be controlled in the manufacture of corrugated and solid fiberboard boxes, liners, and sleeves.

1.3 This practice does not directly cover the adequacy of

fiberboard containers under all conditions of exposure to atmosphere, handling, shipping, and storage. However, refer-ences regarding how to assess the adequacy of container under these conditions are included in the practice.

1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units

are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the

safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-

dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology

3.1 Definitions of terms relating to packaging are found in

Terminologies D996 and D1968.

4. Significance and Use

4.1 Corrugated and solid fiberboard boxes, sleeves, and

liners are used to unitize products into packages of size and shape suitable for manual or mechanical handling and to protect the contents against environmental, handling, shipping, and storage conditions.

4.2 This practice covers some of the basic constructions and

styles of commercially available fiberboard packaging used to unitize and protect contents. This practice also provides refer-ences to aid in box design for performance and for testing boxes to gauge actual performance.

4.3 Use of Other Specifications—Nothing in this practice

shall be construed to prohibit the use of boxes of special design or of fiberboard packages identified by package number in the current Uniform Freight Classification and National Motor Freight Classification when in the experience and judgment of the purchaser, the nature of the articles or material to be shipped justifies such boxes or packages. Some commodities may require less protection while other commodities may require better boxes than are specified herein. Containers for explosives and dangerous articles must also comply with regulations for the Transport of Hazardous Materials (CFR Title 49).

5. Styles

6.5.2.1 Slotted Style Boxes—On the outer flap in a corner as

close to the scoreline as practicable.

6.5.2.2 All Other Styles—In a corner of the top panel as close to the scoreline as practicable. Unless otherwise specified (see 8.1.23), no other marking shall appear on the box. The Box Manufacturer’s certificate does not relieve the supplier of his responsibility for meeting the requirements of this practice.

6.5.2.3 When the box panel is not large enough to accom-

modate all of the markings, the markings may cross the scoreline (see 6.5.3).

6.5.3 Types CF and SF, Class Domestic Boxes—Each box

shall be plainly marked with the appropriate Box Manufactur-er’s certificate signifying compliance with the Uniform Freight Classification rules, and the National Motor Freight Classifi-cation rules, as applicable. The certificate may be located on the box wherever it is customarily placed; however, the preferred location is on the bottom panel or bottom outer flap. The certificate on boxes having a length of less than 10 in. [254.0 mm] or width of less than 9 in. [228.6 mm] may be reduced in size but the outside diameter shall not be less than 2 in. [50 mm]. In the event the box panel is too small to accommodate even the reduced certificate of compliance, the certificate will be permitted to cross the scoreline and cover more than one panel. For class domestic/fire retardant boxes, the words FIRE RETARDANT shall be marked below the boxmaker’s certificate. Unless otherwise specified (see 8.1.23), boxes will require no further markings. When specified (see 8.1.23), the specification number, dimensions, and cube shall be marked below the boxmaker’s certificate.

6.6 Workmanship—The completed box shall be clean, free

of frayed or torn edges, improperly aligned panels, improper scores and slots, and the marking shall be clear and legible.

Numerous factors have significant impact on boxes’ score fracturing/checking tendency, including fabrication, handling, and storage environment. A reasonable time frame for assess-ment of score cracking should be agreed upon between the supplier and purchaser. All dimensions of the boxmaker’s blank shall be accurately cut, scored, and slotted so that the assembled box parts fit closely without binding. No flap shall project beyond an edge of the box by more than 1Ú8 in. [3 mm] when the box is set up and closed. All metal fasteners shall be well clinched, flush with or below the interior and exterior surfaces of the corrugated fiberboard joined, and shall be flush or slightly above the surfaces for solid fiberboard.

6.7 Box Testing and Transit Simulation—Information

needed to assist in the design of optimum package or to confirm that the selected package will perform well in storage and transit can be obtained by utilizing sequential testing processes.
