What is Paper Board?

Paper board is a thick and durable paper-based material manufactured primarily from virgin wood pulp, recycled fibers, or a combination of both. Production involves pulping, refining, sheet formation, pressing, drying, and finishing processes to achieve the required strength and rigidity. Paper board is extensively used in folding cartons, food and beverage packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, consumer goods containers, retail displays, and industrial packaging. Its recyclability, printability, structural strength, and versatility support widespread use across packaging and manufacturing applications.

• Availability of recovered paper.
• Packaging industry consumption.
• Food and beverage packaging requirements.
• E-commerce and retail activity.
• Energy and utility expenses.
