Scoring and Bending of Laminated Paperboard for Automotive Trunk Liners

This paper incorporates old and new ideas into an accepted SAE standard that describes how a laminated paperboard may be bent 180 without a fracture appearing on the surface of the board.

Minimal tooling cost, short lead time and low part price can also be achieved by the proper design and manufacture of a scored softboard part in place of a matched metal die designed luggage liner.
