  1. aDimension for all boxes is 305 x 210 x 70 mm (A4), except for “A3 CLAMss CL JPP1 E” and “A5 CLAMss CL JPP1 E”, which have the following dimensions: 420x305x70 mm and 210 x 105 x 70 mm, respectively.
  2. bBox code is a unique name of a box (used herein). Box code in this table refers to measurements of T and RH fluctuations done with empty and unstacked boxes.
  3. cBoxes were grouped, for the purpose of this study. Note however that “A4 Textile wrap” was put into Cardboard group because of similar properties to cardboard boxes in terms of RH damping capacity. Similarly, “A4 CLAMss JPP1 Paraloid” was also put into Cardboard group.
  4. dBox design description: “2-P” – 2-part box. i.e. telescope box. “2-P dw” – 2-part box. i.e. telescope box. double walled. “CLAMls” – flap box with flaps on the longer side. “CLAMls dw” – flap box with flaps on the longer side. double walled. “CLAMss” – flap box with flaps on the shorter side. “Wrap” – material (Kraft/Kraft PE paper or Textile) is wrapped around simple metal construction.
  5. eMeasurements of T and RH fluctuations with empty and unstacked boxes were done in replicates (uncertainty assessment).
  6. fBoxes used in measurements of T and RH fluctuations – filled with stack of paper. Box codes: A3 CLAMss CL JPP1 F, A4 CLAMls CL JPP.65 F, A4 CLAMls CL JPP1.3 F, A4 CLAMls CL JPPflut F, A5 CLAMss CL JPP1 F.
  7. gBoxes used in a “stack” experiment (for T and RH fluctuations measurements). Box codes: A4 2-P GL JPP1 STACK, A4 2-P GL JPP1 H STACK, A4 2-P GL JPP1 sealed STACK, A4 2-P GL JPP1 coated STACK, A4 CLAMss CL JPP1 STACK.
