[I. One Embodiment]
In one embodiment below, the configuration of the corrugated cardboard material will be described in items [1] and [2]. Item [1] describes a structure in which the corrugated cardboard material is folded (hereinafter referred to as “folded structure”). Item [2] describes parameters related to the properties of the sheet (corrugated cardboard sheet) used for the corrugated cardboard material.
Then, the actions and effects of the configurations of items [1] and [2] will be described in item [3].

[1. Folding structure]
As shown in FIG. 1, the corrugated cardboard material 1 is a box-making material having a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
In the corrugated cardboard material 1, a continuous rectangular sheet 2 (partially marked in FIG. 1) is folded back at a crease F (only a part is coded in FIG. 1), and the folded sheet 2 is folded. They are stacked in the height direction.
In the corrugated cardboard material 1 folded in this way, a plurality of folds F extend linearly along the vertical direction on a pair of side surfaces along both the vertical direction and the height direction.

Here, the folding structure of the corrugated cardboard material 1 will be described by focusing on three consecutive sheets 2 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1).
1st sheet 21: Sheet 2 continuous on one side of the 2nd sheet 22
Second sheet 22: Sheet 2 continuous with both the first sheet 21 and the third sheet 23
-Third sheet 23: Sheet 2 continuous with the other side of the second sheet 22

The first fold F1 is provided between the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22, and the sheets 21 and 22 are continuous via the first fold F1. A second fold F2 is provided between the second sheet 22 and the third sheet 23, and the sheets 22 and 23 are continuous via the second fold F2.
The first fold F1 is a fold F in which the second sheet 22 is folded back toward one side (right side in FIG. 1) with respect to the first sheet 21, and the other side in the corrugated cardboard material 1 (right side in FIG. 1). It is arranged on the left side in FIG. The second fold F2 is a fold F in which the third sheet 23 is folded back toward the other side in the lateral direction (left in FIG. 1) with respect to the second sheet 22, and the second fold F2 is one in the lateral direction (one in the corrugated cardboard material 1). It is arranged on the right side in FIG.

In the first sheet 21, the corrugated cardboard step 10 (in FIG. 1, only the front edge is marked) extends to the _first edge E ₁ extending in the lateral direction (the direction intersecting the fold F). Waves) are exposed. Similarly, on the second sheet 22, the cardboard is provided on the second edge E ₂ extending in the lateral direction (the direction intersecting the crease F) (in FIG. 1, only the front edge is marked). The step 10 is exposed.
In the sheet pair 20 composed of the first sheet 21 and the second sheet 22, the first end edge E ₁ and the second end edge E ₂ are arranged adjacent to each other in the height direction.

According to the corrugated cardboard material 1 having the above-mentioned folding structure, even a material that is difficult to be wound in a roll shape can be folded in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. That is, the corrugated cardboard sheet 2 having a higher strength than the material that can be wound in a roll shape can be made into a compact packaging. The corrugated cardboard material 1 in which the sheet 2 whose strength is ensured is folded in this way is suitable for use as a packaging material for a box-making system for manufacturing a box in which strength is required.

In addition, the fold F is provided along the corrugated cardboard step 10. In other words, the corrugated cardboard material 1 having a step 10 perpendicular to the MD direction is manufactured.
The corrugated cardboard material 1 is preferably wrapped (wrapped) with a packaging film in order to prevent stains and collapse of the load.

[2. Parameters]
Hereinafter, the parameters of the corrugated cardboard material 1 will be described.
First, basic parameters such as the size and the number of stages of the corrugated cardboard material 1 will be described. After that, the parameters related to the sheet 2 of the corrugated cardboard material 1 will be described in detail.

[2-1. Basic parameters]
The size of the corrugated cardboard material 1 is determined from the following dimensions L1 to L3.
-Vertical dimension L1: Vertical dimension (first dimension)
-Horizontal dimension L2: Horizontal dimension (second dimension)
-Height dimension L3: Dimension in the height direction (third dimension)
The smaller the dimensions L1 to L3, the greater the restrictions on the size and shape of the box to be manufactured, and the larger the size, the lower the workability such as transportation and delivery. From these viewpoints, the dimensions L1 to L3 are preferably in the range shown in Table 2 below.

In addition, if the number of folds F in the corrugated cardboard material 1 is N [sheets], the number of sheets 2 is N + 1 [sheets]. In this case, the N + 1 [stage] sheets 2 are overlapped on the cardboard material 1.
For example, as the number of stages of the corrugated cardboard material 1, for example, various stages of 10 to 1000 [stages] can be mentioned. For the corrugated cardboard material to which the parameters related to folding, which will be described in detail later, are measured, it is preferable to measure the parameters at each of all the stages for the measurement target having less than a predetermined number of stages (for example, 100 [stages]). On the other hand, for a measurement target having a predetermined number of stages (for example, 100 [stages]) or more, the parameters may be measured partially (for example, a portion divided into parts or a set area).

An arbitrary basis weight can be set for the sheet 2 used for the corrugated cardboard material 1. The range of the basis weight adopted for the sheet 2 includes a range of 50 to 1500 [g / m ² ], preferably a range of 100 to 1000 [g / m ² ], and more preferably 200 to 200. The range of 800 [g / m ² ] is mentioned, and more preferably the range of 200 to 600 [g / m ² ] is mentioned.
The weight of the corrugated cardboard material 1 is calculated by multiplying the above basis weight by the vertical dimension L1 and the horizontal dimension L2 and the number of steps N + 1 of the sheet 2.

[2-2. Parameters related to sheet properties]
The corrugated cardboard material 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration relating to the properties of the sheet 2 from the viewpoint of enabling a good box to be manufactured when used as a material for a box making system. Specifically, it has a predetermined configuration regarding the properties of the sheet 2 based on at least one of the viewpoints I to V listed below.
・ Viewpoint I: Ensuring box-making property ・ Viewpoint II: Suppressing breakage of bent parts when assembling into a box ・ Viewpoint III: Ensuring suitability when printing is performed ・ Viewpoint IV: Suppressing tearing (damage) of the assembled box ・ Viewpoint V: Suppressing the peeling of the liner

The above viewpoints I to V are viewpoints for solving the following problems I to V in which common ordinal numbers I to V are described.
-Problem I: Insufficient box-making property-Problem II: The bent part is easily broken when assembling into a box-Problem III: Insufficient suitability when printed・ Problem IV: Easy to tear the assembled box ・ Problem V: Easy to peel off the liner

The predetermined configurations corresponding to the above viewpoints I to V and tasks I to V include at least one of the following configurations a to e.
-Structure a: The following configurations 1 and 2
＞ Configuration 1: Thickness dimension is within a predetermined dimensional range ＞ Configuration 2: Planar compressive strength is within a predetermined compressive strength range ・ Configuration b: The following configurations 2 and 3
> Configuration 2: Configuration 2 above
> Configuration 3: The step-by-step ratio is within a predetermined magnification range-Structure c: The angle ratio is within a predetermined ratio range-Structure d: The burst strength is within a predetermined burst strength range-Structure e: Adhesive strength is within the specified force range

<Structure a>
As described above, the configuration a includes "configuration 1 in which the thickness dimension is in a predetermined dimensional range" and "configuration 2 in which the planar compressive strength is in a predetermined compressive strength range".
The "thickness dimension" of the configuration a is a parameter representing the thickness of the sheet 2 per sheet. The "planar compressive strength" of the configuration a is the strength when the sheet 2 is compressed in the thickness direction (height direction, TD direction), and is a parameter corresponding to the difficulty of crushing the sheet of the measured corrugated cardboard material.

The inventors of the present application have found that if the thickness dimension of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined dimensional range and the planar compressive strength is within a predetermined compressive strength range, the above-mentioned problems I and II tend to be suppressed. Got Conversely, it was found that the sheet 2 having a thickness dimension and a planar compressive strength outside the range of the configuration a tends to cause problems I and II.
That is, the sheet 2 is provided with the configuration a based on the above-mentioned viewpoints I and II.

If the thickness dimension exceeds the predetermined dimension range, it is presumed that when the sheet 2 is bent by the ruled line for box making, the liners 2a and 2b are not fully stretched and are broken, which causes the problem II. On the other hand, if the thickness dimension is less than the predetermined dimension range, it is presumed that the strength of the sheet 2 is insufficient and the sheet 2 is bent at a place other than the ruled line for box making, which causes the problem I. Even when the plane compressive strength is below the predetermined compressive strength range, it is presumed that the strength of the sheet 2 is insufficient and it is bent at a place other than the ruled line for box making, which causes problem I. To.
Further, if the planar compressive strength exceeds a predetermined compressive strength range, it is presumed that the ruled lines for box making are difficult to form, which causes the problem I.

The "predetermined dimensional range" of the configuration a is 2.0 [mm] or more and 9.6 [mm] or less, and 3.0 [mm] or more and 8.0 [mm] or less. It is preferable that it is 4.0 [mm] or more and 7.0 [mm] or less.
Further, the "predetermined compressive strength range" of the configuration a is preferably 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less, and 80 [kPa] or more and 220 [kPa] or less. It is more preferable that it is 110 [kPa] or more and 190 [kPa] or less.

<Structure b>
The configuration b includes the same "configuration 2 in which the planar compressive strength is in a predetermined compressive strength range" and the above-mentioned "configuration 3 in which the step ratio is in a predetermined magnification range" similar to the configuration a.
The "step ratio" of the configuration b is a parameter representing the magnification of the length dimension in the MD direction (horizontal direction) with respect to the liner of the core.

The inventors of the present application have found that if the plane compressive strength of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined compressive strength range and the step-by-step ratio is within a predetermined magnification range, the above-mentioned problem I tends to be suppressed. Obtained. Conversely, it was found that the sheet 2 having the plane compression strength and the step-by-step ratio outside the range of the configuration b tends to cause the problem I.
That is, the sheet 2 is provided with the configuration b based on the above-mentioned viewpoint I.

If the plane compressive strength is less than the predetermined compressive strength range, it is presumed that the problem I is caused by the insufficient strength of the sheet 2 as described above. On the other hand, if the planar compressive strength exceeds a predetermined compressive strength range, it is presumed that the ruled lines for box making are difficult to form, which causes problem I.
Similarly, if the step-by-step ratio is less than the above-mentioned predetermined magnification, it is presumed that the problem I is caused by the insufficient strength of the sheet 2. On the other hand, if the step-by-step rate exceeds the above-mentioned predetermined magnification, it is presumed that the ruled line for box making is difficult to be formed, which causes the problem I.

The "predetermined compressive strength range" of the configuration b is 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less, and 80 [kPa] or more, similarly to the "predetermined compressive strength range" of the configuration a. It is preferably 220 [kPa] or less, and more preferably 110 [kPa] or more and 190 [kPa] or less.
The "predetermined magnification range" of configuration b is 1.2 [times] or more and 1.7 [times] or less, and 1.35 [times] or more and 1.6 [times] or less. It is preferable, and it is more preferable that it is 1.45 [times] or more and 1.55 [times] or less.

The magnification range of the step-by-step rate referred to here can be applied not only when the sheet 2 is a single flute but also when the sheet 2 is a double flute. Specifically, the stepping rate of any of the cores of the double flute is 1.2 [times] or more and 1.7 [times] or less, and 1.35 [times] or more and 1 It is preferably 6.6 [times] or less, and more preferably 1.45 [times] or more and 1.55 [times] or less. The step-by-step rate of the double flute referred to here is a step-by-step rate calculated for each stage (the stage corresponding to each flute of one and the other in the double flute).

<Structure c>
As described above, the configuration c includes "a configuration in which the angle ratio is within a predetermined ratio range".
The “angle ratio” of the configuration c is a parameter corresponding to the degree of inclination of the step 10 in the sheet 2 of the measured corrugated cardboard material 1.
Hereinafter, the angle ratio will be described with reference to FIG. 2, which shows an enlarged main part of the sheet 2. FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the step 10 of the sheet 2 is slightly tilted.

The sheet 2 has a structure in which the liners 2a and 2b on the front and back surfaces and the core 2c are adhered to each other. The core 2c constitutes the step 10, and forms a corrugated structure between the liners 2a and 2b.
If the core 2c has an ideal shape, the cross section (that is, the step 10) along the lateral direction and the height direction has a sinusoidal shape. On the other hand, in the actual sheet 2, the step 10 formed by the core 2c may be tilted with respect to the ideal shape. The angle ratio expresses the degree of such inclination.

This angle ratio is a ratio calculated based on the angles θ1 and θ2 (intersection angles) at which the core 2c and the auxiliary line L intersect.
The auxiliary line L is a virtual line that is parallel to the liners 2a and 2b (that is, the lateral direction <MD direction>) and passes through the center of the liners 2a and 2b (that is, the center of the height direction <TD direction>). Is set as.
The angles θ1 and θ2 are acute angles among the intersection angles at the two adjacent points P1 and P2 at the points where the core 2c intersects the auxiliary line L.

The angle ratio is the ratio obtained by dividing the absolute value of the difference between the two angles θ1 and θ2 by the sum of the two angles θ1 and θ2. This angle ratio is represented by the following formula c.
Angle ratio = | θ1-θ2 | / (θ1 + θ2) ... Equation c
The angle ratio defined in this way is 0 (zero) in the case of the ideal step 10, and becomes a large value as the step 10 is deviated.

The inventors of the present application have found that if the angle ratio of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined ratio range, the above-mentioned problem III tends to be suppressed. Conversely, it was found that the sheet 2 having an angle ratio outside the range of the configuration c tends to cause the problem III.
That is, the sheet 2 is provided with the configuration c based on the above-mentioned viewpoint III.
If the angle ratio exceeds a predetermined ratio range, the heights of the steps 10 on the sheet 2 tend to be uneven, which is presumed to lead to Problem III.
The “predetermined ratio range” of the configuration c is 0.30 or less, preferably 0.15 or less, and more preferably 0.05 or less.

<Structure d>
As described above, the configuration d includes "a configuration in which the burst strength is within a predetermined burst strength range".
The “burst strength” of the configuration d is a parameter corresponding to the load capacity of the sheet 2 in the measured corrugated cardboard material 1.
The inventors of the present application have found that if the burst strength of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined burst strength range, the above-mentioned problem IV tends to be suppressed. Conversely, it was found that the sheet 2 having a burst strength outside the range of the configuration d tends to cause the problem IV.

That is, the sheet 2 is provided with the configuration d based on the above-mentioned viewpoint IV.
If the burst strength is less than the predetermined burst strength range, it is presumed that the problem IV is caused by the insufficient load capacity of the sheet 2.
The "predetermined burst strength range" of the configuration d is 500 [kPa] or more, preferably 1000 [kPa] or more, and more preferably 2000 [kPa] or more.

<Structure e>
As described above, the configuration e includes "a configuration in which the adhesive force is within a predetermined force range".
The "adhesive force" of the configuration e is a parameter corresponding to the strength of bonding the core 2c of the sheet 2 and the liners 2a and 2b.
The "adhesive force" referred to here is the adhesive force between the core 2c and the front liner 2a (adhesive force on the glue machine side) and the adhesive force between the core 2c and the back liner 2b (adhesion on the single facer side). It means the average value with (force).

The inventors of the present application have found that the above-mentioned problem V tends to be suppressed if the adhesive force of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined force range. Conversely, it was found that the sheet 2 having the adhesive strength outside the range of the configuration e tends to cause the problem V.
That is, the sheet 2 is provided with the configuration e based on the above-mentioned viewpoint V.
If the adhesive force is less than the predetermined force range, it is presumed that the liners 2a and 2b are likely to be peeled off from the core 2c when the cardboard material 1 is manufactured in the box, which causes the problem V.
The "predetermined force range" of the configuration e is 140 [N] or more, preferably 190 [N] or more, and more preferably 220 [N] or more.

[3. Action and effect]

It is possible to suppress breakage of the bent portion when assembling into a box.
According to the configuration b, since the planar compressive strength of the sheet 2 is in a predetermined compressive strength range and the step-by-step ratio is in a predetermined magnification range, the box-making property of the measured corrugated cardboard material 1 can be ensured. ..
According to the configuration c, since the angle ratio of the sheet 2 is within a predetermined ratio range, it is possible to ensure the suitability when the measurement cardboard material 1 is printed.

Su.
-Procedure zf: The weight of the liner cut out in the procedure ze is measured with an electronic balance.
-Procedure zg: Weight measured by procedure zf is the weight per unit square meter [g / m ²

In addition, the basis weight of the liner and core that form the sheet of the measured corrugated cardboard material is the basis weight of the base paper that is the material of the measured corrugated cardboard material, even if the same base paper is used as the measurement target. The measured value of is variable by about ± 10 [%].
For the above-mentioned measured corrugated cardboard material, the thickness dimension and the planar compressive strength shown in Table 3 below were measured.

The "thickness dimension" is a parameter corresponding to the thickness of each sheet in the measured corrugated cardboard material. This thickness dimension was measured by the following procedures aa to ad.
-Procedure aa: Half the number of steps (that is, the middle step) of the total number of steps of the measured corrugated cardboard material

The thickness was taken.
In the "exclusion of numerical values that can cause disturbance" in step ad, when each numerical value measured in procedure ac is used as a population, the numerical value whose standard deviation of the population deviates from ± 3σ is excluded.

"Plane compressive strength" is a parameter corresponding to the resistance of the corrugated cardboard sheet to be crushed. This planar compressive strength was measured by the following procedures aA to aD.

--Evaluation--
For Examples a1 to a6 and Comparative Examples a7 to a9 in which the thickness dimension and the planar compressive strength were measured as described above, each of the box-making property and the ruled cracking described below was evaluated.
"Box making" depends on the accuracy of the box in which the cardboard pieces (hereinafter referred to as "evaluation cardboard pieces") cut out by the cut line that straddles the folds of the measured cardboard material are assembled by hand (handmade). Corresponding evaluation criteria. As a manual assembly method, the cut corrugated cardboard piece was folded at a predetermined ruled line, attached with a hot melt adhesive, and boxed.
The method of assembling the evaluation cardboard pieces by the box-making system is the same regardless of whether the evaluation cardboard pieces are assembled by hand or by the box-making system. Therefore, it can be said that the box-making property of the evaluation cardboard piece assembled by hand correlates with the box-making property of the evaluation cardboard piece assembled by the box-making system.

The "evaluation cardboard piece" is a test piece in which the measurement cardboard material is punched into the following shape and size with a sample cutter (CF2-1218 manufactured by Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd.).
-Shape: Pattern in which the A-type cardboard box is developed-Size: Width dimension of the side plate of the A-type cardboard box 356 [mm],
Width dimension of the end plate of the A type cardboard box 159 [mm],
Height dimension of A type cardboard box 256 [mm]
・ Number of sheets: 100 [sheets]

The above evaluation cardboard pieces were evaluated according to the following criteria.
-⊚: All (100 [sheets]) evaluation cardboard pieces have good box-making properties.
◯: Evaluation of 100 [sheets] Of the cardboard pieces, 1 to 2 [sheets] have poor box-making properties.
-Δ: Evaluation of 100 [sheets] 3 [sheets] of the corrugated cardboard pieces have poor box-making properties.
-X: Evaluation of 100 [sheets] Of the cardboard pieces, 4 [sheets] or more have poor box-making properties.
In Example a4, in which the evaluation of “◯” was obtained with respect to the box-making property, the box-making property of 2 [sheets] was poor.

The term "good box-making property" as used herein means that the distance dimension between the following folded portions A and B in the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is less than the predetermined distance dimension.
-Folded part A: A part where a ruled line for box making (an element different from the fold) is provided.-Folded part B: A part actually folded when assembled in a box (during box making) "Predetermined distance" The "dimensions" are 2.0 [mm] for the dimension perpendicular to the crease of the evaluation cardboard piece (MD direction) and 5 [mm] for the dimension in the direction parallel to the crease (CD direction). ].
On the other hand, "poor box-making property" means that the distance dimension between the folded portions A and B in the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is equal to or larger than the predetermined distance dimension.

Further, "line cracking" means that the bent portion is broken when the evaluation cardboard piece is assembled into the box. This rule cracking is observed by visually observing a box whose box-making property has been evaluated (that is, a box in which evaluation cardboard pieces are assembled, hereinafter referred to as an "evaluation box").
This rule crack was evaluated according to the following criteria.
-⊚: No cracking was observed in all (100 [box]) evaluation boxes.
-○: Of the 100 [box] evaluation boxes, 1 to 2 [boxes] were cracked.
-Δ: Cracks were found in 3 [boxes] of the 100 [boxes] evaluation boxes.
-X: Of the 100 [box] evaluation boxes, 4 [boxes] or more were cracked.
Regarding Examples a3, a5, a6 and Comparative Example a8 in which the evaluation of "○" was obtained for the rule cracking, the rule cracking was observed in 1 [box] in Examples a3, a5, a6, and Comparative Example a8. In 2 [box], a crack was seen.

In Examples a1 to a6, the thickness dimension is 2.0 [mm] or more and 9.6 [mm] or less, and the planar compressive strength is 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less. , A good evaluation of at least "Δ" or more was obtained in both box-making property and rule cracking.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples a7 and a9 having a thickness dimension outside the range of 2.0 to 9.6 [mm] and Comparative Examples a7 to a9 having a planar compressive strength outside the range of 50 to 250 [kPa]. A poor evaluation of "x" was obtained for the box-making property. Further, in Comparative Example a7 in which the thickness dimension was larger than 9.6 [mm], the evaluation of the rule cracking was also a poor evaluation of “x”.

From Comparative Example a7, if the thickness dimension is larger than 9.6 [mm], the liner base paper cannot be stretched and breaks when it is bent by the ruled line for box making, and the evaluation of the ruled crack is poor. Inferred.
From this comparative example a7, when the plane compression strength is larger than 250 [kPa], it becomes difficult to insert a ruled line for box making (due to a decrease in the formability of the ruled line), and a place other than the ruled line for box making It is also presumed that the box-making property is evaluated poorly because it is bent at.

From Comparative Example a8, when the planar compression strength is less than 50 [kPa], the bending strength of the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is insufficient and it becomes easy to bend at a place other than the ruled line for box making, and the box making property is evaluated. Is presumed to be defective.
Similarly, from Comparative Example a9, when the thickness dimension is less than 2.0 [mm], the bending strength of the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is insufficient and it becomes easy to bend at a place other than the ruled line for box making. It is presumed that the evaluation of corrugated cardboard is poor.

In view of the above Comparative Examples a7 to a9, it is presumed from Examples a1 to a6 that the smaller the thickness dimension is in the range of 9.6 [mm] or less, the more the occurrence of rule cracking is suppressed. On the other hand, it is presumed that the larger the thickness dimension in the range of 2.0 [mm] or more, the more the bending at the place other than the ruled line for box making can be suppressed.
From Examples a1 to a6, it can be inferred that if the planar compression strength is 250 [kPa] or less, defects in the ruled lines formed for box making can be suppressed. On the other hand, if the planar compression strength is 50 [kPa] or more, it is presumed that the bending strength of the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is secured and the bending is suppressed at a place other than the ruled line for box making.
Therefore, if the thickness dimension is 2.0 [mm] or more and 9.6 [mm] or less, and the planar compressive strength is 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less, the box-making property It can be said that it is possible to both secure and suppress rule cracking.

<Structure b>
--Measurement target--
As the measurement cardboard materials used in Examples b1 to b3 and Comparative Examples b4 and b5 regarding the configuration b, the same liner base papers as in Examples a1 to a6 and Comparative Examples a7 to a9 were used, and the following core base papers were used.
-Core base paper: 170 [g / m ² ] [LB170: manufactured by Oji Materia Co., Ltd.]
Further, the measurement corrugated cardboard materials used in Examples b1 to b3 and Comparative Examples b4 and b5 were manufactured by using a corrugated board having a stepping roll having various stepping rates shown in Table 4 below. Further, for each of Examples b1 to b3 and Comparative Examples b4 and b5, the planar compressive strength was measured in the same procedure as the above-mentioned procedures aA to aD, and the planar compressive strength shown in Table 4 below was measured. ..

The "step ratio" is a parameter corresponding to the magnification of the length dimension in the MD direction with respect to the liner of the core. This step-by-step rate was measured by the following procedures ba to bg.
-Procedure ba: Similar to procedures aa and aA, half the total number of stages of the measured corrugated cardboard material.
Collect the upper and lower five-tiered sheets based on.
-Procedure bb: The direction in which the core peaks are continuous from the ten sheets collected in procedure ba (horizontal)
20 [cm] in the direction (MD direction) and orthogonal to the core peak (vertical)
Cut out to a size of 10 [cm] in the direction (direction, CD direction).
-Procedure bc: The test piece cut out in procedure bb is immersed in tap water for 24 hours.
-Procedure bd: After immersion in procedure bc, the liners on the front and back are peeled off and the core is taken out.
-Procedure be: The length of the core taken out in step bd is stretched by hand and fully extended.
With a ruler.
-Procedure bb: The "extended length of the core" measured in procedure be and cut out in procedure bb.
The length of the core of the test piece in the continuous direction ("Original cardboard sheet"
The step ratio is called "length", here 20 [cm]), and the following formula b is used.
Is calculated.
Step ratio = length with the core fully extended / length of the original cardboard sheet ... Equation b
-Procedure bg: Measured from the step-by-step rate calculated in procedure bf in the same manner as in steps ad and aD above.
Exclude numerical values that can cause disturbances (factors) that reduce the accuracy of constant results, and are flat.
The average value was taken as the step-by-step rate.

--Evaluation--
The box-making property was evaluated for Examples b1 to b3 and Comparative Examples b4 and b5 for which the step-by-step ratio was obtained as described above. This box-making property is synonymous with the box-making property used in the evaluation of Examples a1 to a6 and Comparative Examples a7 to a9. In Example b1 in which the evaluation of “◯” was obtained with respect to the box-making property, the box-making property of 2 [sheets] was poor.

In Examples b1 to b3, the step ratio is 1.2 [times] or more and 1.7 [times] or less, and the planar compressive strength is 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less. Yes, a good evaluation of at least "Δ" or higher was obtained for the box-making property.
On the other hand, Comparative Example b4 in which the stepwise ratio is less than 1.2 [times] and the planar compressive strength is less than 50 [kPa], and the planar compressive strength is larger than 1.7 [times] and the planar compressive strength. In Comparative Example b5 in which the value is larger than 250 [kPa], a poor evaluation of “x” in box-making property was obtained.

From Comparative Example b4, since the step-by-step ratio is less than 1.2 [times] and the planar compressive strength is less than 50 [kPa], the bending strength of the evaluated corrugated cardboard piece is insufficient, so that the box is manufactured. It is presumed that the box-making property will be poorly evaluated because it will be easily bent at places other than the corrugated cardboard.
From Comparative Example b5, it becomes difficult to insert a ruled line for box making (formation of a ruled line) because the step ratio is larger than 1.7 [times] and the planar compressive strength is larger than 250 [kPa]. It is presumed that the evaluation of the box-making property becomes poor because it is bent at a place other than the ruled line for box-making (due to the deterioration of the property).

In view of the above comparative examples b4 and b5, from Examples b1 to a3, the step-by-step ratio is 1.2 [times] or more, and the planar compressive strength is 50 [kPa] or more. It is presumed that bending at places other than the ruled lines for boxes can be suppressed. Further, it is presumed that the defect of the ruled line formed for box making can be suppressed by the step-by-step ratio of 1.7 [times] or less and the planar compressive strength of 250 [kPa] or less.
Therefore, if the step ratio is 1.2 [times] or more and 1.7 [times] or less, and the planar compressive strength is 50 [kPa] or more and 250 [kPa] or less, the box is manufactured. It can be said that the sex can be secured.

<Structure c>
--Measurement target--
In Examples c1 to c3 and Comparative Example c4 regarding the configuration c, the same base papers as in Examples b1 to b3 and Comparative Example b4 are used, and A produced by using a corrugator having a stepping roll of the specifications shown below. Measurement of flute A cardboard material was used.
・ Step height: 4.5 [mm]
・ Number of steps: 34 [mountain / 30 cm]
Then, the measured corrugated cardboard materials manufactured so as to have the angle ratios shown in Table 5 below were used in Examples c1 to c3 and Comparative Example c4. The unit [-] in Table 5 represents a dimensionless quantity.

The "angle ratio" is a parameter corresponding to the degree of inclination of the step in the sheet of the corrugated cardboard material to be measured. This angle ratio was measured by the following procedures ca to cf.
-Procedure ca: In the sheet of corrugated cardboard material to be measured, one mountain of the core is vertically oriented (CD direction).
Take a photo from Mukai).
-Procedure cb: One mountain will have a height of 10 [cm] or more in the photo taken in procedure ca.
Enlarge and print on printing paper.
-Procedure cc: The direction parallel to the liners on the front and back (that is, the lateral direction <MD direction>).
Draw an auxiliary line that passes through the center of the front liner and back liner (center in the TD direction).
-Procedure cd: Of the intersections between the auxiliary line drawn in procedure cc and the core, any two adjacent points
select.
-Procedure ce: At each of the two points selected in procedure cd, the auxiliary line and the core form
The acute angle of the angles was measured with a protractor.
-Procedure cf: Two absolute values of the difference between the two angles (measured values) measured in procedure ce
Calculate the ratio divided by the sum of the angles of.

--Evaluation--
The printability of Examples c1 to c3 and Comparative Example c4 from which the angle ratios were obtained as described above was evaluated.
"Printability" is the suitability when printing is applied to the measured corrugated cardboard material, and is an evaluation standard corresponding to the quality of printing applied to the measured corrugated cardboard material.
This printability was evaluated by the following procedures cA to cC.
-Procedure cA: Measured cardboard sheet of 500 [mm] x 1350 [mm]
Cut into pieces.
-Procedure cB: Direct flexo printing machine D for the test piece cut in procedure cA.
550 [Line / Inn] by YNA FLEX160 (manufactured by Bobst)
Aqueous flexo ink (Sakata Inn) with Anilox roll engraved on [C]
It was painted and printed in the following order (manufactured by Ku).
> Coating order: Red → ink → indigo → yellow → varnish ・ Procedure cC: The finish printed in procedure cB was visually observed.

The above printability was evaluated according to the following criteria.
-◎: There is no uneven ink deposition, and the print finish is good.
-○: There is almost no uneven ink deposition, and there is no practical problem.
-△: There is a little unevenness in ink deposition, but there is no practical problem.
・ ×: There is a great deal of uneven ink deposition, there are practical problems, and the quality is significantly inferior.

In Examples c1 to c3, the angle ratio is 0.30 or less, the printability is evaluated as “Δ” or more, and there is no practical problem. In Examples c1 and c2 having an angle ratio of 0.15 or less, an evaluation of “◯” or higher was obtained, and in Example c1 having an angle ratio of 0.05 or less, an evaluation of “⊚” was obtained.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example c4 in which the angle ratio is larger than 0.30, an evaluation of “x” is obtained for printability, which poses a practical problem.

From Comparative Example c4, it is presumed that when the angle ratio is larger than 0.30, the heights of the steps become uneven, and the evaluation of printability becomes poor. Alternatively, the fact that the test piece is likely to be deformed in the direction corresponding to the inclination of the step when the ink is applied is also a reason for presuming that the evaluation of printability is poor.
On the other hand, from Examples c1 to c3, it is presumed that when the angle ratio is 0.30 or less, the variation in the height of the steps is suppressed, and printability without any problem in practical use can be obtained. The variation in the height of the steps is surely suppressed by the angle ratio of 0.15 or less from Examples c1 and c2, and more by the angle ratio of 0.05 or less from Example c1. It is presumed that it will be further suppressed.
Therefore, if the angle ratio is 0.30 or less, it can be said that printability can be ensured.

<Structure d>
--Measurement target--
For Examples d1 to d3 and Comparative Example d4 regarding the configuration d, the same core base paper as in Examples b1 to b3, c1 to c3 and Comparative Examples b4 and c4 was used. On the other hand, in Examples d1 to d3 and Comparative Example d4, liner base papers having various basis weights produced according to the method for producing a liner for corrugated board of Japanese Patent No. 6213364 were used. Specifically, one of the four types of basis weights shown below was adopted for each of Examples d1 to d3 and Comparative Example d4.
Basis weight (of liner base paper) 90 [g / m ² ]: Example d1
Basis weight 170 [g / m ² ] (of liner base paper): Example d2
Basis weight 250 [g / m ² ] (of liner base paper): Example d3
Basis weight (of liner base paper) 60 [g / m ² ]: Comparative example d4
In addition, a corrugated cardboard material produced by using a corrugated board having the same stepping rolls as in Examples c1 to c3 and Comparative Example c4 was used.
The burst strength was measured for each of Examples d1 to d3 and Comparative Example d4 using the measured corrugated cardboard material produced as described above, and the burst strength shown in Table 6 below was measured.

The “burst strength” is a parameter corresponding to the easiness of tearing of the evaluation box (IFC code: 0401) targeted for evaluation of rule cracking in the above configuration a. This burst strength was measured by the following procedures da to dd.
-Procedure da: Similar to procedure aa, the number of stages of the measured corrugated cardboard material is half of the total number of stages.
Collect the upper and lower five-tiered sheets.
-Procedure db: 100 [mm] x 100 [mm] from ten sheets collected in procedure da
] Cut out a test piece into a square of size.
-Procedure dc: Measure the thickness of the test piece cut out in step db according to the following standard, test piece, and measurement.
Measure with equipment and measurement conditions.
> Compliant standard: JIS P 8131 (paperboard-burst strength test method)
> Measuring equipment: Murren burst tester EH, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.
> Measurement conditions: The pressure when expanded to a height of 10 [mm] from the tightening surface is 1.
Use a rubber diaphragm of 70 to 220 [kpa] ・ Procedure dd: Similar to procedure ad, aD, aC, from the burst strength measured in procedure dc
Excluding numerical values that can cause disturbances (factors) that reduce the accuracy of measurement results,
The average value was taken as the burst strength.

--Evaluation--
The tearability of the evaluation box was evaluated for Examples d1 to d3 and Comparative Example d4 in which the burst strength was obtained as described above.
"Easiness of tearing" is an evaluation standard corresponding to the light and heavy load capacity of the contents contained in the box. This easiness of tearing was evaluated by the following procedures dA to dC.
-Procedure dA: Weights are added so that the weight per unit area is 15 [kgf / cm ² ].
Store in an evaluation box. The evaluation box is an assembly type so that it will not be affected by the tape.
IFC code 0401).
-Procedure dB: After procedure dB, two workers hold the bottom surface where the weight is not in contact with the evaluation box.
Raise and hold for 30 [seconds].
-Procedure dB: Visually check whether or not the evaluation box has been torn in procedure dB.

The above-mentioned fragility was evaluated according to the following criteria.
・ ◎: The appearance of the evaluation box has not changed at all after being lifted.
・ ○: The evaluation box is slightly torn after being lifted, but the weight remains in the evaluation box.
・ △: The evaluation box is torn after being lifted, but the weight stays in the evaluation box.
・ ×: After lifting, the evaluation box is severely torn, and the weight falls from the evaluation box.

In Examples d1 to d3, the burst strength was 500 [kPa] or more, the easiness of tearing was evaluated as “Δ” or more, and the weight did not fall. In Examples d2 and d3 having a burst strength of 1000 [kPa] or more, an evaluation of "○" or more was obtained, and in Example d3 having a burst strength of 2000 [kPa] or more, an evaluation of "◎" was obtained. ..
On the other hand, in Comparative Example d4 having a burst strength of less than 500 [kPa], an evaluation of “x” was obtained for the ease of tearing, and the weight fell.

Therefore, if the burst strength is 500 [kPa] or more, it can be said that it is possible to prevent the contents from falling out of the evaluation box. Further, if the burst strength is 1000 [kPa] or more, it can be said that damage to the evaluation box due to the load of the contents can be suppressed. Moreover, if the burst strength is 2000 [kPa] or more, it can be said that damage to the evaluation box due to the load of the contents can be prevented.
In addition, it can be seen that the larger the basis weight of the liner base paper, the higher the burst strength. From such a correlation between the basis weight and the burst strength, it can be said that if the basis weight is 80 [g / m ² ] or more, it is possible to prevent the contents from falling out of the evaluation box. Further, when the basis weight is 160 [g / m ² ] or more, it can be said that damage to the evaluation box due to the load of the contents can be suppressed. Moreover, if the basis weight is 240 [g / m ² ] or more, it can be said that damage to the evaluation box due to the load of the contents can be prevented.

<Structure e>
--Measurement target--
For Examples e1 to e3 and Comparative Example e4 regarding the configuration e, the same base papers as those of Examples b1 to b3, c1 to c3, d1 to d3 and Comparative Examples b4, c4 and d4 are used, and Examples c1 to c3 and d1 are used. A corrugated cardboard material for measuring A flute produced using a corrugator having the same stepping rolls as in ~ d3 and Comparative Examples c4 and d4 was used.
The adhesive strength was measured for each of Examples e1 to e3 and Comparative Example e4 using the measured corrugated cardboard material produced as described above, and the adhesive strength shown in Table 7 below was measured.
Regarding the notation in Table 7, "S side" means "single facer side" (back liner side), and "G side" means "glue machine side" (front liner side).

The "adhesive force" is a parameter corresponding to the peeling resistance value of the adhesive portion between the stepped top of the core (the part corresponding to the maximum value) and the liner in the sheet of the corrugated cardboard material to be measured. To put it plainly, it is a parameter corresponding to the difficulty of peeling off the liner forming the sheet of the corrugated cardboard material to be measured.
This adhesive force was measured by the following procedures ea to ed.
-Procedure ea: Seas for 10 upper and lower stages based on half the total number of stages of the measured corrugated cardboard material

-Procedure ec: Prepare ten samples on the front and back of the sample cut out in procedure eb. Ingredients
Physically, ten sheets for measuring the adhesive strength on the single facer side and a guru
-Prepare 10 sheets to measure the adhesive strength on the machine side.
-Procedure ed: Mount the sample prepared in point order ec on the following measuring device, and comply with the following
Adhesive strength was measured according to standards and measurement conditions.
> Compliant standard: JIS Z0402
> Measuring device: Compression tester (manufactured by A & D Co., Ltd., RTF1350)
> Measurement conditions: Pin attachment (Nippon TMC Co., Ltd.) is attached to the sample.
Then, place it on the measuring device and place it on the measuring device so that the peeling surface is on the upper side, 13 [mm / min.
], And the maximum load when the adhesive part of the sample is peeled off.
Measure the weight.
-Procedure ed: Is the adhesive strength measured in procedure ed similar to procedure ad, aD, aC, dd?
Exclude numerical values that can cause disturbances (factors) that reduce the accuracy of measurement results.
The average value was taken as the burst strength.

--Evaluation--
The liner peeling was evaluated for Examples e1 to e3 and Comparative Example e4 in which the adhesive strength was obtained as described above.
"Liner peeling" is an evaluation standard corresponding to the quality of the box and the quality of the appearance. This liner peeling was evaluated by the following procedures eA to eC.
-Procedure eA: Straddle the crease of the measured corrugated cardboard material as in the evaluation of the box-making property of the configurations a and b.
Cut out the evaluation cardboard piece with the cut line. In addition, the first evaluation Dan
When cutting out a piece of ball, replace it with a new cutter blade, and this cutter blade
Was used without replacement until the 100th (last).
-Procedure eB: Assemble the evaluation cardboard pieces cut out in procedure eA by hand.
-Procedure eC: Peeling of the liner (sheet) in the evaluation box assembled in step eB
Observe the presence or absence.

The above liner peeling was evaluated according to the following criteria.
-⊚: No peeling of the liner was observed in all (100 [box]) evaluation boxes.
-○: Liner peeling was observed in 1 to 2 [boxes] of the evaluation boxes of 100 [boxes].
-△: The liner was peeled off in 3 to 4 [boxes] out of the evaluation boxes of 100 [boxes].
-X: Liner peeling was observed in 5 [boxes] of the 100 [boxes] evaluation boxes.
Regarding Examples e2 and e3 in which the evaluation of "○" was obtained for liner peeling, liner peeling was observed in 1 [box] in Example e2, and liner peeling was observed in 2 [box] in Comparative Example e3. It was observed. In addition, there were no examples or comparative examples in which a rating of "Δ" was obtained for liner peeling.

In Examples e1 to e3, the average value of the adhesive strength measured on the single facer side and the glue machine side (hereinafter referred to as "average adhesive strength") is 140 [N] or more, and the liner peeling is "○". The above evaluation was obtained. In particular, in Example e1 having an average adhesive strength of 220 [N] or more, an evaluation of “⊚” was obtained.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 in which the average adhesive strength was less than 140 [N], an evaluation of "x" was obtained for the liner peeling.

If the above average adhesive strength is 140 [N] or more, the liner will not easily come off when the evaluation cardboard piece is cut out from the measurement cardboard material, and the liner will not come off easily when the evaluation box is assembled from the evaluation cardboard piece. Inferred. Furthermore, if the average adhesive strength is 220 [N] or more, it is presumed that the liner can be prevented from peeling off both when the evaluation cardboard piece is cut out and when it is assembled. Therefore, the average adhesive strength is 140 [N]. With the above, it can be said that the liner of the evaluation box is less likely to come off. As a result, it can be said that the deterioration of the appearance of the evaluation box can be suppressed and the quality of the evaluation box can be ensured.

--Evaluation--
For the corrugated cardboard material measured in Example abc, box-making property, rule cracking, printability, and liner peeling were evaluated. As a result, excellent evaluation (“◎” above) was obtained in all of box-making property, rule cracking, printability, and liner peeling.
From the evaluation results of Example abc, it can be seen that when the configurations a, b, and c are combined, the evaluation corresponding to each configuration a, b, and c is not impaired and is excellent.

Further, when the measured corrugated cardboard material having the above parameters is used in the box making system, it is presumed that the box assembly speed (packaging speed) can be increased. The reasons for this include the following reasons α and β.
・ Reason α: Since a good evaluation of liner peeling can be obtained, the liner peeling is suppressed.
One, the process of cutting out the measurement cardboard material into evaluation cardboard pieces (that is, "su"
It is presumed that the speed of "liter processing") can be increased. In other words
High-speed corrugated cardboard material to be cut out by slitter in liter processing
Even if it is cut out with, it is presumed that the liner will not come off easily due to the impact.
When.
・ Reason β: Since a good evaluation of box-making property can be obtained, box-making property is ensured before box-making.
It is presumed that the packaging speed of the system can be increased. In other words, evaluation
Equipment unit for assembling cardboard pieces (for example, robot arm for packaging)
) Will be on the ruled line even if the cardboard material to be assembled is folded at high speed.
It is presumed that it will bend (the bending at places other than the ruled lines can be suppressed).
To be.
