Vietnam's paper industry is on a strong growth trajectory, accompanied by increasingly stringent demands for product quality. However, there is a "silent enemy" that can ruin an entire batch in a short time: Air humidity.

A Real-World Example of Humidity's Impact

In countries with tropical humid climates, many cardboard packaging manufacturers have recorded product defect and warping rates of up to 15-20% during the rainy season. The main cause is identified as the paper sheets (raw material) absorbing moisture from the environment, which reduces stiffness and causes deformation during the stamping process. This situation not only causes direct financial losses but also affects delivery schedules and the company's reputation. (Source: TAPPI Technical Journal)

What Do Industry Standards Say?

To ensure consistency and product quality, international organizations have established very clear standards. According to the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI), the international standard for testing and storing paper (TAPPI T402) requires the environment to be maintained at a relative humidity (RH) of 50% ± 2% and a temperature of 23°C ± 1°C. Maintaining stable humidity within this range ensures that the mechanical properties of paper, such as tensile strength, tear resistance, and stiffness, are guaranteed.

Any deviation can lead to serious problems at every stage:

  • Raw Material Storage: Pulp and waste paper become lumpy, moldy, and the fiber quality degrades.
  • During Production: Paper becomes soft, prone to tearing during sheeting, changes dimensions, warps upon cooling, and causes ink bleeding during printing.
  • Finished Product Storage: Paper easily absorbs moisture, causing sheets to stick together, deform, turn yellow, and creating conditions for mold growth, leading to significant economic losses.
