Folding box board offers a range of sustainable advantages that make it an attractive choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact and improve their packaging solutions.
What is FBB folding box board?
Folding box board is a low weight, multi-ply paperboard made up of at least three layers. The central layer is either mechanical or thermomechanical pulp – this is what makes it uniquely lighter weight and less resource-intensive than alternatives. The outer layers are made from bleached chemical pulp.
Benefits of folding box board
Cost-Effective and Sustainable
In addition to its eco-friendly advantages, folding box board is also a cost-effective packaging solution for businesses looking to balance sustainability with affordability. FBB is competitively priced compared to other packaging materials, such as plastic or metal, making this paper board for packaging a budget-friendly option for small and large-scale production runs. Its recyclability also reduces waste disposal costs and environmental fees, further contributing to cost savings for businesses. As FBB packaging is flat packed, it saves on storage and delivery costs.
Environmental Sustainability
Made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, FBB is a renewable and biodegradable material that is easily recyclable. Unlike plastic packaging, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, FBB breaks down naturally in a much shorter timeframe, reducing the environmental impact on our planet.
Lightweight and Durable
Folding box board is known for its lightweight yet durable properties, making it an ideal choice for packaging solutions that require both strength and flexibility. Whether used for food packaging, cosmetics, or consumer goods, FBB provides a sturdy and protective barrier that can withstand rough handling during transit. Its lightweight nature also reduces shipping costs and carbon emissions, making it a practical choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
Customisation and Printability
FBB can be easily printed with high-quality graphics, logos, and text, allowing businesses to create eye-catching packaging that stands out on the retail shelves.
Types of folding carton boxes
Endlessly adaptable, folding box board comes in a range of styles, including standard cartons, pillow boxes, cubes, pyramids and Christmas crackers. Our capable advisors will walk you through some options and send prototypes for you to test and review with your products.
