Packaging board encompasses a diverse range of materials tailored to meet the multifaceted needs of various industries. It serves as the backbone of packaging solutions, providing durability, versatility, and customization options for different products. Among the array of packaging boards available, four prominent variants—Duplex Board, Virgin Board, SBS Board (Solid Bleached Sulphate), and FBB Board (Folding Box Board)—stand out for their unique characteristics and applications.
Duplex board, also known as double-sided board, is a composite material consisting of two or more layers—often made from a combination of recycled fibers and wood pulp. It possesses a smooth surface on one side and a slightly rougher surface on the other. This board's versatility makes it an ideal choice for applications such as cereal boxes, shoeboxes, and various types of packaging where a balance between cost-effectiveness and quality is required. Its sturdiness and ability to withstand printing and lamination processes make it a popular choice in the packaging industry.
Virgin board is crafted entirely from fresh wood pulp, distinguishing it from boards that contain recycled content. This purity grants it superior strength and exceptional printing capabilities, making it a preferred choice for high-end packaging needs. The absence of recycled fibers ensures a pristine, consistent surface, ideal for intricate printing, vibrant colors, and premium finishes. Its applications span luxury cosmetic packaging, high-quality food packaging, and other products demanding a polished, pristine appearance.
