Paperboard Grades & When to Use Them
Right board means print, strength, and cost control.
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate): High-impact graphics, food-grade, clean embossing.
- SUS (Solid Unbleached Sulfate): Rugged board that handles weight with cost efficiency.
- CRB (Coated Recycled Board): Budget and environmentally focused, for mainstream CPG.
- FBB & Micro-Flute: Light but rigid. Micro-flute prints well and supports single-step graphic production.
Print & Finishing That Moves Product
Include finishing to add shelf appeal or handle focus:
- Hot-stamp metallic highlights
- Embossing and debossing for tactile branding
- Specialty varnish for matte-gloss contrast
- Laminations for scuff protection and longer display life
