The work aims to carry out compression test on corrugated box to study the deformation and compressive capacity of the box under the indentation conditions of different shapes. Firstly, the non-indentation box, the cross-type indentation box, the eight-shaped indentation box and the diamond-shaped indentation box were designed. Secondly, the boxes under various indentation shapes were subject to empty container compression test by the box compression tester to record their respective maximum crush force. Finally, the experimental data were analyzed to specify the relationship between compressive strength and indentation shape. Different indentation shapes had different effects on the compressive strength of corrugated boxes with diamond ones having the greatest influence. Diamond indentation could increase the compressive strength of corrugated boxes by hindering the deformation trend of the box. The compressive strength of the corrugated box can be increased by applying a diamond indentation, which hinders the indentation subject to I-shaped deformation of the box on the side plate of the corrugated box, and has reference significance for the production design of the corrugated box.
