Dynamic Vapor Sorption Mechanics in Recycled Packaging Substrates
Recycled packaging substrates exhibit non-Fickian moisture uptake and severe hysteresis, reducing compressive strength by over 20 percent under cyclic humidity.

Paperboard expands five to seven times more across the grain than along it, requiring precise humidity control and pass timing to maintain converting register.

Targeting 5.5 to 6.5 percent board moisture and maintaining 50 percent relative humidity prevents hygroexpansion fan-out, registration drift, and score cracking.

Dynamic delamination thresholds in recycled calipers dictate converted score integrity, requiring minimum inter-ply shear energy dissipation under high strain rates.

Unheated warehouse storage alters boxboard moisture equilibrium, inducing wavy edges and core bond loss; thermal acclimation before press release prevents spoilage.
