Z-directional strength Z-directional strength refers to the ability of a paper or board to resist tensile loading in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper (Z-direction). After exceeding the Z- directional strength of the paper, a break in the paper structure occurs in the sheet but not at its surface. The Z-directional strength
