FOLDING BOXBOARD

This product results from putting together several overlapping layers of paper - which may be similar or different - and then, compressing these layers in order to cause the adhesion. For these layers, one may use either raw cellulose (renewable resources) or recycled pulp material. Regardless of its type, folding boxboard is manufactured on a basis weight ranging from 200 to 500 g/m2, with or without a surface coating.
