Some test protocols, such as ISTA Procedure 1E [2], only allow for an incline impact test and horizontal impact test. In this case study, a graph was developed for a 500-lb impact tester at Christian Brothers University (CBU) Packaging Laboratory. It determines sliding platform location on the incline for a given packaged-product weight to meet the impact velocity recommended by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA). One station of the platform location higher than the station obtained from the graph is recommended to ensure the meeting of ISTA recommended impact velocity. It is well known that weight is not used in impact velocity of a free fall drop. However, this case study shows that weight contributes to impact velocity of an incline impact test. It contributes to the rolling friction. A heavier weight yields a smaller coefficient of rolling friction ( 𝜇𝑘 ), which results in a higher impact velocity. The coefficient of rolling friction for CBU’s incline impact tester can be computed from 𝜇𝑘 = −9 −5𝑤 + 0.1092, where w is the total weight of the sliding platform and packaged product.","PeriodicalId":142489,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Packaging Technology","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132663722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this project is three-fold: (1) Product protection, (2) Environmental friendliness, and (3) Process improvement. This was a service-learning project that aligns with CBU’s mission. CBU prepares its students with a slogan “Enter to Learn. Leave to Serve.” Product protection was done at both product and packaging levels. Environmental-friendly materials were chosen, and shipping box sizes were optimized. Process improvement included efficiency for manual operations and cost reduction. Various studies were performed, including an impact study of honey jars and a granola tray, as well as shock absorption of different cushioning materials. The following recommendations were made: Using single-faced corrugated wrap around honey jars to separate glass jars. Using biodegradable peanuts to tighten up gift packs in shipping corrugated boxes. Using an optimum shipping corrugated box. Using crinkle paper as cushion in gift pack.

To evaluate the relationship between package weight and drop height, the package size was kept constant and the weight of the overall system was varied. To evaluate the relationship between package size and drop height, the package weight remained constant and changes were made to the dimensional size of the container. A total of 13 round trip shipments were performed where the instrumented packages were shipped via small parcel Ground transport. Results from the study showed package dimensional size does have an affect the average drop height of a packaged product (P 0.05). The results from this study indicate current package test standards should incorporate package dimensional size as a factor when determining the test drop height for a packaged product.","PeriodicalId":142489,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Packaging Technology","volume":"246 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131778518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When lateral pressure is applied to a multi-pack of bottles, the pack can carry more vertical stacking strength during warehousing and transportation. In this study a rubber exercise band was used to apply lateral pressure to a pack of four 16.9-oz drinking water bottles. Under this semi-confinement condition, the pack stacking strength increased up to 19% for non-interlocking bottle arrangement. However, the lateral pressure decreased the stacking strength for interlocking bottle arrangement due to the non-uniform load-carrying distribution of the four bottles. Failure occurred in the neck and shoulder areas of these bottles. Thus, adding vertical ribs or some patterns in the neck and shoulder areas would increase their compression strength.","PeriodicalId":142489,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Packaging Technology","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133068283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
