Sažetak
Modern food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industry pack their products in big transport corrugated board boxes, but they also use small bord boxes for individual commercial packaging. It is a common practice to make the grain direction of those small folding board boxes parallel to the box height, which creates large amounts of useless waste material in their production process in the graphic industry. This adds to box prices, but it also has negative consequences for the environment protection because it increases board consumption per box. The grain direction of big transport boxes is not the issue, but if this research proves that the folding board box strength is only slightly different when different height and grain directions are taken into account, and if the machines used in the production process react in the same way to those box types, we might be able to recommend to the graphic industry a new way of producing such boxes. The new production system would make a better use of board sheets by changing the grain direction, which, in turn, would make the production cheaper and would be ecologically better.
