Web-based SPA Board Grade Calculator App now available FREE of charge to SPA Members

22nd June 2023

As announced at SPA 106th Conference earlier this month, the SPA Board Grade Calculator Application is now available to all SPA Members.

This newly developed Web-based application can be utilised to determine the Box Compression of a given box and potential commercial implications or opportunities.  You will be able to calculate the theoretical BCT of any '02' style case using the ECT values for the grade of board.

Also:

  • Compare performance of differing board grades and discover the optimum.
  • Determine the estimated BCT of the box for any board grade.
  • Gauge performance by grade.
  • Optimise performance vs cost.
  • Enter the World of performance-based packaging.
  • Account for ‘environmental factors’ e.g., Moisture levels, stacking, printed/die-cut etc.
  • Fine-tune your application with ‘actual’ ECT data from your Sheet feeder.
  • Use as a valuable tool for Value Engineering projects.
