Why Cedar Park Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose SBS Paperboard
SBS Paperboard — The Premium Standard for Consumer Goods and Brand-Sensitive Packaging
SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) paperboard is produced from bleached kraft wood pulp — all fibers processed to remove lignin and color, creating a pure white fiber matrix that is then clay-coated for printing. The result is the brightest, most consistent printing surface available in standard packaging board — a substrate that supports accurate color reproduction, fine detail resolution, and consistent results that brand managers at consumer goods companies have relied on for generations.
SBS is the dominant material for pharmaceutical folding cartons, premium cosmetic packaging, food packaging requiring visual appeal, and any consumer goods packaging where accurate brand color reproduction is a non-negotiable requirement. Its combination of printing quality, structural performance, and food-safety compliance makes it the default specification for professional packaging programs.
Why SBS is the Standard for Pharmaceutical Packaging
Pharmaceutical packaging requires material consistency that can be validated and documented for regulatory purposes. SBS paperboard's manufacturing process produces board with tightly controlled optical properties, caliper, strength, and surface chemistry — all measurable and documentable. Pharmaceutical packaging regulations require material qualification documentation; SBS from established mills provides this documentation reliably. The food-safe virgin fiber base also meets pharmaceutical purity requirements that recycled-content board cannot.
SBS Grades and Performance Tiers
SBS paperboard is produced in multiple grades distinguished by basis weight, caliper, and coating weight. Premium SBS uses multiple clay coating layers for maximum surface smoothness and printing performance — the specification for prestige cosmetic and luxury consumer goods packaging. Standard SBS uses single-layer clay coating for good print quality at lower cost — the specification for pharmaceutical cartons and standard consumer goods packaging. The grade difference is meaningful: premium SBS achieves consistently higher print quality at the cost of 10-20% material premium.

SBS Paperboard Packaging in Cedar Park — FAQs
What makes SBS different from recycled paperboard?
SBS is made from virgin bleached wood fibers — no recycled content. This provides higher brightness, more consistent caliper, greater stiffness-to-weight ratio, and food-contact purity that recycled-content board cannot reliably match. SBS is specified when maximum print quality, dimensional consistency, or food-contact purity is required.
Is SBS paperboard the same as ivory board?
Not exactly. Ivory board is a specific grade of SBS or coated board with particular quality characteristics. In common usage, SBS and ivory board are often used interchangeably to mean premium coated white board. Our material team will clarify the specific grade appropriate for your application.
Can SBS packaging be certified FSC?
Yes. FSC-certified SBS paperboard is available from mills with FSC Chain of Custody certification. The FSC claim provides assurance that the virgin fiber comes from responsibly managed forests. We provide FSC claim statements for your product packaging and marketing materials.
