Definition
Stacking strength of a fiberboard container measured as the maximum load that can be applied to it under specified conditions before it is crushed, and expressed in newtons or pounds per square inch. Printing directly onto the container face or surface reduces its compression strength by crushing the material and saturating the fibers with ink. Also called compression resistance, compressive strength, or crush resistance.
