Tyler asks:

I have just found out that my supplier has not been making my 44 ECT with 55 or 56 liners.
How should I respond to that?

If your supplier(s) choose to change the board combination and increase the bending stiffness of the combined board – a good thing – then you need to adjust your scoring accordingly so that the boxes will erect without any adjustments by your customer. Click here for an inexpensive score bend tester.

Make sure they are supplying you a minimum of 52# ECT for incoming sheets so that you can ship a minimum 44# ECT out the back door.
