Material Selection

Paperboard is a grade of fiberboard specially manufactured to withstand creasing. In other words, it will bend or fold without cracking. It’s often smoothed and coated to give it a superior printing surface.

Paperboard is made primarily of cellulose fiber derived directly from trees (virgin stock) or waste paper products for recycled content (recycled fibers). Paperboard is generally distinguished from paper primarily based on thickness. Most mills classify paperboard as any thickness exceeding 10-point or 12-point, expressed in thousandths of an inch and measured with a caliper. You will often see paperboard described as 10-point (pt.), which refers to points on a caliper’s display, or .010, which translates to 10 thousandths of an inch.

The more common types include Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), which refers to paperboard composed of fully bleached virgin pulp (sulfate process) fiber with a clay coating on one or both sides. Bleaching the pulp fibers provides an appealing, high brightness. Recycled paperboard generally used in printed folding cartons is clay coated on one side, which provides a relatively smooth surface for print, and the uncoated side will appear gray or brown, depending on the fibers used.

SBS – Solid Bleached Sulfate

Bright White Apperance- coated on one-side (C1S) or coated on two sides (C2S).

MET PET SBS- Metalized SBS

Shiny Apperance- a cheaper alternative to foil stamping.
