Folding Box Board

Incada is a folding boxboard product based entirely on fresh fibres. It has a multi-layered fibre composition and construction designed to maximise its stiffness whilst having a low density.

The outer layers consist of bleached chemical sulphate pulp and the middle layers of thermo-mechanically separated fibres (TMP). Pigment coating can be applied to one or both sides and its unique composition is designed so that the product family satisfies different end-use printability requirements.

Product description

Incada Silk C is a fully coated white-backed folding box board (FBB) designed for high quality packaging, such as tobacco applications. The double coated product, with its unique coating formula, has been developed to ensure a supremely smooth surface providing consistent results in both solid prints and halftone illustrations. The reverse side is single coated with a matt finish which also provides additional dimensional stability and cutting efficiency benefits.

This primary fibre paperboard consistently meets the requirements for high performance in quality printing and varnishing. Incada Silk C has been developed to maximise output on high-speed gravure and offset litho printing presses through its ink setting and drying properties. The products construction means it is able to be run through the highest speed packing lines minimising waste and downtime providing ultimate benefits for the user.
