B
H.
The dimensions L, B and H are specified in each description of thecase construction but refer normally to:L (Length) = the longer dimension at the openingB (Breadth) = the shorter dimension at the openingH (Height) = the dimension from the top of the opening to the baseNOTEDimensions should be measured on the flat blank from the centre of the creases taking into account the thicknessof the material as appropriate.3.2 Telescope type casesFor telescope-type cases the height (h) of the upper part (lid) should be given as a fourth measurement after anoblique stroke, e.g.355
120/40 mm(L)
(B)
(H)/ (h)3.3 Cases with overlapping outer flapsFor cases with overlapping outer flaps the length of the overlap (o) should be given as a fourth measurement,e.g.355
120/40 mm(L)
(B)
(H)/ (o)3.4 Sheet dimensionsNOTEUnless otherwise specified, the dimensions of a corrugated board sheet are expressed in mm.3.4.1 Corrugated board sheet1st dimension
2nd dimension = (CD
MD) = (across the machine direction)
(along the machine direction).SIST EN 14053:2003

2nd dimension = (CD
MD)1st dimension = CD (cross
direction)2nd dimension = MD (machine direction).3.5 Material thickness3.5.1 GeneralThe thickness of a fibreboard material is needed for calculations of the package dimensions.Corrugated board and solid fibreboard are two types of fibreboard material.3.5.2 Corrugated boardFor corrugated board the material thickness is mainly determined by construction factors, i.e. single wall or multi-wall types and by the flute profile(s) used.
The thickness of the paper components has only a limited influenceon the thickness of the board.
For corrugated board there are comparatively homogeneous types ofconstructions referred to as “flute profiles” or “flute types”.3.5.3 Solid fibreboardSolid fibreboard is available in many thicknesses.
The strength properties for the same thickness can show widedifferences due to many circumstances in the production, e.g. the pulp and fibre raw material used, theproduction machine and production methods.
The grades are often referred to by basis weight and type of fibrematerial used.
The board producer can give relevant strength properties related to their particular material.4 Basic type groups4.1 GeneralThe design of corrugated and solid fibreboard cases can be as variable as the types of articles to be packed butthere are certain recognized basic type groups.
The purpose of this section is to describe a code which is usedto identify the design of corrugated and solid fibreboard cases in order to simplify communication betweenmanufacturers, specifiers, users and other parties involved.4.2 Code compositionThe code consists of four figures.
The two first figures in the code are related to the basic type groups presentedbelow and the second two figures are related to the actual version of the basic types. (See also clause 5)4.3 Basic type groupsSee also clause 8.4.3.1 Commercial rolls and sheets (01)4.3.2 Slotted-type cases (02)Consist basically, of one piece with a glued, stitched or taped manufacturers´ joint and top and bottom flaps.They are shipped flat, ready to use and require closing using the flaps provided.SIST EN 14053:2003
