Paperboard Grades and When to Use Them

Selecting the right substrate drives print quality, strength, and cost control.

  • SBS, Solid Bleached Sulfate: Bright surface for high-impact graphics, common in food and beauty packaging.
  • SUS, Solid Unbleached Sulfate: Tough natural fiber board for carriers and products that need extra rigidity.
  • CRB, Coated Recycled Board: Recycled fiber content with solid print results for mainstream CPG.
  • FBB and Micro-Flute: Lightweight printability with added crush resistance and stacking strength.

Print and Finishing That Moves Product

Pair structural integrity with finishes that sell.

  • Hot stamping for metallic accents and premium shelf appeal
  • Embossing and debossing to create tactile brand impressions
  • Specialty varnishes for spot effects, matte-gloss contrast, and durability
  • Laminations for scuff resistance and extended carton life
