Why Castle Rock Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose CRB Paperboard
CRB Paperboard — Sustainable Recycled Content Board That Delivers Premium Print Quality
CRB (Coated Recycled Board) uses post-consumer recycled fiber as the primary structural component, with a white clay-coated front surface that provides print quality approaching SBS board. The gray back surface is the visible indicator of recycled content — and for brands communicating sustainability, this gray back is not a flaw but a feature: evidence of recycled content that consumers and sustainability auditors can see and verify.
CRB is the preferred board for brands committed to sustainable packaging who need reliable print quality for their packaging. The clay-coated front surface provides consistent printing performance for CMYK and Pantone printing, while the recycled fiber core reduces the environmental footprint compared to virgin fiber board.
CRB vs SBS: The Sustainability Trade-Off
CRB and SBS have the same clay-coated front print surface — in terms of printing performance, the difference is minimal for most applications. The real distinction is in the board core. SBS uses virgin bleached fiber for maximum brightness, strength, and food-contact purity. CRB uses post-consumer recycled fiber, accepting slightly lower brightness and tensile strength in exchange for significantly reduced environmental footprint. For brands where food-contact purity is not required, CRB is the more sustainable choice at comparable print quality.
PCW Content and Documentation
Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) content in CRB is measured as the percentage of total fiber weight derived from recovered post-consumer paper. Standard CRB contains 30-50% PCW content. Premium recycled content CRB can achieve 80-100% PCW content. We provide PCW content documentation from mill certifications for brands needing to report recycled content in ESG disclosures or sustainability marketing claims.

CRB Paperboard Packaging in Castle Rock — FAQs
Is CRB print quality comparable to SBS?
For most applications, yes. The clay-coated front surface of CRB provides print quality approaching SBS for standard CMYK printing. Color density may be marginally lower on CRB compared to equivalent SBS due to slight brightness differences. For prestige or brand-critical color applications, SBS is still the preferred specification.
What is the PCW content of standard CRB?
Standard CRB contains 30-50% post-consumer waste fiber. Premium recycled content CRB achieves 80-100% PCW. We provide mill certification documentation confirming PCW content for ESG reporting.
Can CRB be used for food packaging?
CRB is not appropriate for direct food contact packaging because recycled fiber may contain trace contaminants that cannot be fully removed in standard recycling processes. CRB can be used for indirect food contact packaging (outer cartons not contacting food) and for non-food packaging.
Is CRB less expensive than SBS?
CRB is typically 5-15% less expensive than comparable SBS grades, reflecting lower raw material costs from recycled fiber. For high-volume packaging programs, this cost difference is meaningful over time.
