| Cross-reference of packaging specifications that procurement, packaging engineers and brand owners need when substituting materials, matching closures to bottles, or converting between regional standards. Covers three domains: (1) SPI/GPI plastic and glass neck-finish dimensions with tolerances (T, E, H, S, I) for the 400, 410 and 415 thread series; (2) corrugated board grade equivalence between Mullen burst test and ECT edge crush test ratings, with maximum weight limits from both the Fibre Box Handbook and UPS guidelines; (3) EUR/ISO pallet footprint dimensions, load ratings and regional designations. Answers questions like 'what are the T and E dimensions for a 24-410 finish', 'is 200# Mullen the same as 32 ECT', and 'what size is a EUR 2 pallet'. | |
| ## Provenance — what every record carries | |
| Every record carries `source` (the URL the value was read from) and | |
| `source_quote` (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you | |
| cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; | |
| these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on | |
| the canonical site at its `url`. | |
| ## Licence position | |
| Factual compilation with source citations. Neck-finish dimensions are facts about physical measurements transcribed by vendors from GPI/SPI standards; short attributed quotes link back. Corrugated grade data is factual product information published by distributors. Pallet dimensions are widely published facts. No standard text is reproduced. | |
| Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a | |
| fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it. | |
