Paperboard Caliper and Rule Width Selection Formulas for Creasing Matrix Channel Optimization
Matrix channel width equals creasing rule thickness plus board caliper multiplied by grade constants ranging from 1.4 for SBB to 1.7 for WLC.
Optimizing Matrix Channel Geometry for Recycled Score Cracking Prevention
Widening matrix channel width to 1.7 times board caliper mitigates score cracking on recycled board by promoting controlled internal ply delamination.
Cross Direction Crease Stiffness Reduction Ratios for Solid Bleached Sulfate
Cross direction score lines on solid bleached sulfate require a 50 percent crease stiffness reduction ratio achieved via a 1.8 to 2.0 times caliper matrix width.
Multi Ply Board Layering Mechanics Impact on Creasing Performance
Controlled inter-ply shear delamination inside the middle layers under rule stroke impact converts rigid board into thin lamina, eliminating score cracking.
