Bleached Paperboard

Made from responsibly sourced, renewable wood-based fibers, our bleached paperboard offers a wide scope for advanced structural and surface designs. With a clean blue-white shade and a superior printing surface for enhanced graphics, bleached paperboard is ideal for high-end applications that require greater shelf appeal and visual impact.

Due to the long and strong fibers, paperboard made from wood-based fiber is ideal for meeting specific packaging performance requirements and health and safety guidelines for certain applications, including aroma and flavor-sensitive items such as food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. 

Wood-based fiber inputs are also an integral element in the fiber cycle, needed to sustain the fiber recycling loop by providing fresh material inputs to replace fiber losses. 

Bleached paperboard is also known as solid bleached sulfate (SBS).
