Why Newport Beach Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Food-Safe Paperboard
Food-Safe Paperboard — Certified Material for Direct and Indirect Food Contact Packaging
Food-safe paperboard is not a separate material category but a specification of standard paperboard — virgin fiber SBS board processed with food-contact-safe coatings, inks, and adhesives under a quality management system that maintains documented traceability. FDA 21 CFR food contact regulations define the requirements for packaging materials that may contact food — specifying permitted materials, migration limits, and testing requirements.
Branded Boxes produces food packaging on food-safe SBS board with food-safe ink systems, food-safe aqueous coatings, and food-safe adhesives throughout. We maintain FDA compliance documentation for all food packaging materials and provide batch-level traceability records for regulated food packaging applications.
Direct vs Indirect Food Contact
Direct food contact packaging touches the food product — a cereal inner liner, a fast-food sandwich box, or a cookie tray insert. Indirect food contact packaging is in the food supply chain but does not directly touch food — a cereal outer carton, a restaurant take-out box exterior. Both require food-safe materials, but direct contact requirements are more stringent. We specify appropriate compliance levels for each application.
Food-Safe Ink and Coating Requirements
Food packaging compliance extends beyond the board substrate to the full printing and finishing system. Inks for food packaging use photoinitiator-free or low-migration formulations that prevent chemical migration to the food. Coatings use food-safe aqueous systems rather than solvent-based formulations. Adhesives use food-safe hot melt or water-based systems. We maintain documentation for the complete printing system on all food packaging applications.

Food-Safe Paperboard Packaging in Newport Beach — FAQs
What is FDA 21 CFR and how does it apply to packaging?
FDA 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations Title 21) includes regulations covering materials used in food contact packaging. Parts 176 (paper and paperboard), 175 (adhesives), and 177 (coatings) specify permitted materials and migration limits for food packaging components. We reference applicable CFR parts in our compliance documentation.
Is recycled fiber board food-safe?
Recycled fiber board is generally not appropriate for direct food contact packaging because recovered fibers may contain trace contaminants — mineral oils, phthalates, and other migrants — that cannot be fully removed in standard recycling processes. Virgin fiber SBS is the appropriate specification for direct food contact.

We provide material compliance statements referencing applicable FDA 21 CFR parts, ink and coating compliance letters from suppliers, and batch-specific material certifications for regulated food packaging programs.
