This study analyzes the performance testing of the acid-free corrugated cartons for cultural relic packaging according to the national standard test methods and theories of packages and determines the optimal proposal. With reference to basic test standards for transport packages, the properties of five types of cartons were compared and analyzed through compression test, stacking test, drop test and sinusoidal vibration test. When compression test was performed, patterns of load-deformation curves for five groups of specimen were similar; compression performance of B flute folding carton was superior to E flute; heaven and earth covered folding carton was superior to the shake cover folding cartons; the paste cartons was superior to the folding carton. When stacking test and dropping test were performed, the maximum stacking height was determined at 500 mm and stacking layers at 9. When sinusoidal vibration test was performed, the resonant frequencies were determined. In conclusion, it is suggested to select E flute heaven and earth covered folding carton as the final program for the packaging ancient coins in storage and transportation in the museum.
