Abstract
Waxed duplex cartons collected from different prawn freezing factories were evaluated
for their physico-chemical properties such as bursting strength, puncture resistance, water
proofness, tearing, strength, tensile strength, elongation, moisture content, thickness,
weight of the carton, dimension, wax content and saponifiable matter. The results are
discussed from the point of view of formulation of standards for this most widely employed
packaging material for frozen :fishery products in the country.
