Corrugated box compression strength degrades with humidity

E-commerce sellers in humid regions report receiving cardboard boxes that are damp, crushed, or weak despite manufacturer ratings. Stacking products is unsafe, but sellers can't reliably test compression strength before shipping. Humidity-controlled warehousing is expensive and unavailable to small businesses.
