Abstract Regular fluted and cross fluted corrugated fibre boards are being used by the fish processing industry as shipping container for the packaging of frozen shrimp for export. The effect of regular fluting and cross fluting boards on the physical properties of corrugated fibre board was studied. Also studied the stacking stability of cubical type and cuboidal type of corrugated fibre board boxes. Five ply corrugated fibreboard box of the sizes 330 mm x 320 mm x 310 mm was prepared using 125 gsm Kraft paper and 120 gsm Kraft paper in a factory making corrugated fibre board. The physical properties like bursting strength, puncture resistance and compression strength were studied after conditioning the samples. Regular fluting and cross fluting do not have any effect in bursting strength and puncture resistance of the respective boards. But there is an improvement in the compression strength for the regular fluting boards compared to cross fluting. Total work done to reach the maximum compression strength is more in regular fluted boards than cross fluted boards. It has been found that the cuboidal shaped corrugated fibre board boxes have better compression strength than the cubical shaped corrugated fibre board boxes.
