SBS Paperboard
SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) paperboard is a multi-ply virgin fiber board with a bright white, clay-coated surface. It produces the highest print quality of any folding carton substrate because the smooth, white base gives CMYK inks the truest color reproduction. SBS holds score lines accurately, which matters for cartons with tight tolerances like pharmaceutical blister packs and cosmetics boxes. The virgin fiber construction (no recycled content) means consistent fiber length and predictable folding behavior across production runs. Typical weights run 250-500gsm. The FDA clears SBS for direct food contact when combined with appropriate coatings.
