Plywood Tea-Chests: Part-4 Metal Fittings

This technical specification defines the requirements, dimensions, and testing methods for metallic fittings specifically designed for plywood tea boxes. It serves as a complementary document to a broader series addressing the manufacturing and quality standards for packaging materials used in the tea industry. The document outlines precise parameters for materials such as wire, nails, staples, and corner reinforcements, ensuring they meet strict durability and safety criteria. Detailed provisions cover the allowable tolerances for physical dimensions, material composition, and corrosion resistance performance under various environmental conditions. It also specifies procedures for sample selection and acceptance testing to verify compliance. The content focuses solely on the technical attributes of the hardware components, ensuring compatibility with the plywood structure and maintaining the integrity of the packaging during storage and transportation. This specification is part of a systematic approach to standardizing packaging components, promoting uniformity in design and function across the industry.
