SBS Paperboard
SBS paperboard is an option for printed folding cartons, cards and related packaging.
| Material decision | Specification to confirm |
|---|---|
Board grade, GSM and thickness | Specify the actual board grade, weight and thickness rather than using a colour description alone. |
Printing face, folds and closures | Review the printing face, folds and closures on the selected construction. |
Comparing boards on one structure | Compare samples on the same structural design before selecting a different board. |
Material requirements for the quotation
Identify the actual product, intended use and any existing pack or specification.
List quantities by version and the delivery destination. Record which choices still need a recommendation.
Standard MOQ: 500 pieces per style, size and artwork design. Special specifications and combined orders are assessed individually. Material and performance requirements are confirmed for the specific application.

SBS versus kraft
Compare the actual white and kraft surfaces with the same artwork and carton design. Specify grade, thickness and weight separately. A difference in colour does not explain every difference in folding, print or composition.
Material specification and supporting documents
Request the actual material reference and specification. Check only the processes used in the chosen pack, such as printing, gluing, folding, wrapping or forming. Discuss the relevant customization.
Approve fit and appearance on the complete construction. Review affected parts after a grade, layer, coating or attachment changes. Composition, contact and performance documents must cover the specified material or item and use conditions. Ask about documentation.
SBS on creased and glued cartons
A printed carton needs both a print surface and a folding structure. Compare the selected SBS grade on the actual crease and glued shape, rather than choosing only by whiteness.
Record grade, GSM, caliper and the required finish separately. A coating or laminate changes the converted surface and may affect folding or glue areas.
Sample review: printing face, folds and closures
Use an assembled printed sample to check small text, colour and crease appearance. Compare kraft when a brown base is intentional, or corrugated when a different structural role is needed.
