Pharmaceuticals

Folding box board for pharmaceutical cartons, where the carton has to run fast and read clearly.

Pharmaceuticals
About this grade

What it is.

Pharmaceutical cartons run on high-speed cartoning lines and carry dense small print, often with Braille embossing. That puts two demands on the board: dimensional consistency so the line does not jam, and a surface that holds fine text without dot gain.

Braille work adds a third — the board has to emboss cleanly and hold the dot height.

Typical applications — Pharmaceutical and healthcare cartons, high-speed cartoning lines, Braille-embossed packs
