About this grade

What it is.

Food-grade board is separated from ordinary ivory board by two things: what is not in it, and how it behaves on a converting line. This grade carries no optical brightening agents and is specified against GB 11680, the Chinese food-contact paper hygiene standard.

On the line it is built for speed — the coating structure runs top coat, under-top, intermediate, pre-coat, filler and back layer, which is what gives clean folding, die-cutting and scoring without cracking at the crease.

Typical applications — Burger and sandwich cartons, chip and fries packaging, bulk food cartons
