Packaging is essential for many industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and retail. It serves the crucial function of protecting products, and the durability of packaging materials is vital to ensure that a package fulfills this role. One critical factor that affects packaging quality and durability is the paper grading.
Different paper grading types have varying characteristics that affect packaging strength, durability, and cost. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each option in the paper industry is crucial for businesses to choose the right type of packaging for their products.
What is Paperboard?
Paperboard is a versatile and durable type of paper-based packaging material made by compressing layers of paper pulp fibers to create a dense and rigid board. Paperboard can be customized to suit various packaging needs, such as food, cosmetics, retail packaging, and more.
Paperboard is eco-friendly and recyclable, making it ideal for sustainable packaging solutions. It comes in different grades, thicknesses, and finishes, ranging from uncoated to coated and matte to glossy.
- Paperboard is a thick, lightweight, and durable material made of compressed paper fibers. It is commonly used for food packaging, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
-Cardboard, is a thicker and stiffer material made of multiple layers of paper and sometimes includes additional materials like plastics. The multiple layers commonly will feature 2 liner boards and one corrugated board,
-Clay Coated News Backboard (CCNB) is a paperboard made from a blend of recycled newsprint, mixed secondary paper, and old corrugated containers. Due to its lower tensile strength and printing output, CCNB is commonly used for low-cost folding carton packaging for products such as dry food, pet food, laundry detergent, and other non-food items.
- Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) is a high-quality paperboard grade widely used in the packaging industry.
SBS is the best for product packaging thanks to its superior strength, durability, and white surfaces on both the inside and outside of the box, making it optimal for printing since SBS can be coated on one side (C1S) or both sides (C2S), offering businesses flexibility in terms of their packaging design and printing needs. The quality of SBS also allows for special processes such as embossing and debossing, hot foil stamping, or spot UV printing.
Natural Kraft (SUS) and Coated Unbleached Kraft (CUK)
Natural Kraft (SUS) and Coated Unbleached Kraft (CUK) paperboard are becoming increasingly popular in the packaging industry as eco-friendly paperboard grades that offer a more natural look and feel.
