Strength and stiffness properties Packaging boards are used for rigid packages such as cartons and boxes. The most important board properties are obviously stiffness and compression resistance. Other important strength properties are z-directional strength (delamination strength or ply bond) and in some cases bursting strength. Tensile strength is seldom relevant.
