  • SBS paperboard 250gsm to 400gsm is a popularity during making the customized customize cardboard box. Its max thickness is 0.56mm.


When you need more stronger, thicker paperboard, but not corrugated, then we can glue 2 pcs of paperboard together to reach your target weight of baring the products. Such as the tall cake boxes, generally, clients want them eco-friendly, but but their max spec gsm per square meter is only 450gsm, so we have to glue 2 pcs of 350gsm or 400gsm paperboard together. It is not only food grade, good looking than corrugated board boxes, and also can hold a heavy products like 5 lbs.


  • Kraft paperboard: It can have 38gsm to 450gsm. The Below-250gsm kraft are generally used for paper bags, air paper pack, food bag etc.


250gsm or above, can be suitable for a foldable box, or coating on a corrugated board by 250gsm. It has 1 side kraft or 2sides kraft paperboard. 1side is for coating boxes use, or cheaper target price used.  2sides kraft generally, more good looking, and suitable for more luxury paper boxes, bags etc.


  • CCNB paperboard: It is widely used for cheap market packaging & for corrugated box surface printing paper usage. Since it’s more soft than the SBS, C1S, Kraft paperboard. And inside is grey color, not coated in white. So it’s not good looking enough. Better for coating on corrugated boxes. Outside is coated in white, but compared with SBS, its color is not so pure white like SBS, it is more blue white or red white. When you are doing a corrugated mailer box or folding boxes, when your printing color is white, we suggest you choose the SBS paperboard.
