Why Choose Cardboard
Cardboard Packaging — The Versatile Foundation of Premium Custom Boxes
Cardboard is the umbrella material category for the paperboard substrates used in folding carton and retail box production. At Branded Boxes, 'cardboard' encompasses the full range of coated and uncoated paperboard grades selected for your specific product requirements — from lightweight 14pt SBS for cosmetic cartons to heavy 24pt board for premium retail packaging.
The quality of your cardboard packaging starts with material specification: the right board grade, caliper, coating, and grain direction for your specific product dimensions, weight, and printing requirements. Our material specification team guides every client through these decisions with the expertise to optimize material cost without compromising packaging performance.
Understanding Cardboard Board Grades
The term 'cardboard' encompasses multiple board grades with distinct performance characteristics. SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) is the premium standard — white clay-coated surface, bright printing, consistent caliper. CRB (Coated Recycled Board) uses post-consumer recycled fiber with a white clay-coated front surface — the sustainable option with good print quality. CCNB (Clay Coated News Back) is the economy grade for high-volume consumer goods. We select the right grade based on your product, channel, and budget.
Cardboard Caliper and Structural Performance
Caliper — board thickness measured in points (thousandths of an inch) — directly determines structural performance. 14pt board is appropriate for lightweight cosmetics and supplements. 18pt is the standard for most retail folding cartons. 24pt handles heavier products and provides premium rigidity for point-of-purchase packaging. Our structural team specifies the minimum caliper required for your product dimensions and weight, balancing performance against material cost.
Grain Direction and Packaging Performance
Cardboard board has a dominant grain direction that affects bending and folding behavior. Packaging blanks should be cut with fold lines perpendicular to the grain for clean, consistent folding. Incorrect grain direction causes packaging to spring back after folding, resist assembly, and show cracking at fold lines. Our die layout team specifies grain direction optimization for every custom packaging project.

Cardboard Packaging in Wyoming — FAQs
What is the difference between SBS and CRB cardboard?
SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) is made from virgin bleached wood fiber — the brightest, most consistent printing surface with highest strength-to-weight ratio. CRB (Coated Recycled Board) uses post-consumer recycled fiber — slightly less bright printing surface but equivalent structural performance at lower environmental impact. SBS is standard for brand-sensitive applications; CRB is preferred for sustainable packaging programs.
What cardboard weight is right for my packaging?
14pt SBS is appropriate for lightweight cosmetic cartons and supplement boxes. 18pt SBS is the standard for most folding carton retail packaging. 24pt is used for premium retail packaging requiring maximum rigidity. Our material team will recommend the right weight based on your box dimensions, product weight, and stacking requirements.
Is cardboard packaging recyclable?
Yes. Unlaminated and aqueous-coated cardboard packaging is fully recyclable in standard paper and board recycling streams. Plastic film-laminated cardboard is technically recyclable but practically challenging — many facilities cannot separate the film from the board. For maximum recyclability, we recommend aqueous or varnish finishes over film lamination.
Can cardboard packaging be food-safe?
Yes. Food-safe cardboard uses FDA-compliant virgin fiber board (SBS) with food-safe inks and coatings. For direct food contact applications, we specify appropriate board grades and coating systems.
What is the minimum order for custom cardboard packaging?
Custom cardboard packaging starts at 100 units with digital printing. Offset printing for larger runs is available from 500 units with lower unit costs.

Yes. We ship to all Wyoming cities. Ground delivery to Cheyenne and Casper is 4-5 business days from production. Jackson Hole and remote locations may require additional transit time.
