Product details
What is Folding Box Board (FBB)?
Folding Box Board (FBB) is a high-quality, multi-layered paperboard that combines strength, stiffness, and a smooth printable surface. Made from a blend of virgin and recycled fibers, FBB is designed to deliver outstanding performance in packaging applications. Its lightweight yet durable construction ensures that your products are protected and presented in the best possible way.
The most common color for the top layer of FBB is white, which provides a clean, bright, and smooth surface ideal for high-quality printing. This white surface is often achieved through a coating process that enhances brightness and printability.
Folding box board comes in different finishes, including clay-coated and uncoated varieties. The type of coating selected can influence the board’s visual appeal and its suitability for printing.
