The research of mechanical properties of honeycomb paperboard is concentrated in structural factors, construction of static mechanical model, effects of temperature and humidity or strain rate effect and finite element analysis. After analyzing the current research status, it shows that at present it is hard to describe the characterization of the mechanical properties of honeycomb in the actual logistics environment with the change of temperature, humidity and strain rate. The appropriate testing methods and standards of dynamic mechanics performance of honeycomb paperboard are needed. The key to next step for the research is building the energy absorption model based on temperature and humidity effects and strain rate effects and designing the dynamic compression test methods of paper honeycomb and other porous materials of packaging. These will be applied in optimizing the design of honeycomb packaging.
