The Engineering Superiority of SBS Board
In the competitive retail space, flimsy cartons instantly destroy brand credibility. Consequently, global brands rely on Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) Ivory Board to secure their premium items. First of all, this heavy-duty material features a pristine white core that prevents ugly brown lines from showing at folded edges. Secondly, it provides maximum folding resistance gloss paperboard performance, allowing us to engineer complex die-cut packaging without tearing the paper fibers.
Common Packaging Applications

FAQ
Why choose Ivory Board over standard coated duplex board?
Unlike cheap duplex boards that feature a grey recycled interior, Ivory Board maintains a pure white virgin fiber core. Consequently, when you fold the box corners, it projects an immaculate, high-end appearance that luxury retail buyers expect.
What paper weight (GSM) do you recommend for standard retail folding cartons?
For standard cosmetic or electronic retail packaging, we highly recommend utilizing 300gsm to 350gsm Ivory Board. Because this specific density offers the perfect balance of structural rigidity and machine foldability. As a result, it protects your internal product perfectly without creating bulky, ugly corners.
Does Ivory Board require plastic lamination to prevent cracking on the fold lines?
Our premium folding resistance gloss paperboard possesses excellent natural fiber elasticity. Therefore, the paper fibers rarely crack on their own during our automated die-cutting processes. Nevertheless, we still suggest applying a thin matte or glossy lamination film to protect your expensive printed inks from transport scuffing.
Can we apply deep 3D embossing to Ivory Board packaging?
Yes, you can achieve incredible structural depth. Unlike rigid greyboard, Ivory Board consists of a single, highly dense layer of virgin pulp. Subsequently, it reacts beautifully to mechanical brass dies, allowing us to sculpt sharp, three-dimensional logos directly into the paper surface.
Can we print photographic images directly onto Ivory Board?
You can achieve brilliant, magazine-quality photographic results effortlessly. First of all, the paper mill applies a specialized smooth clay coating to the printing side of the board. Secondly, this barrier prevents the liquid CMYK ink from sinking deeply into the raw fibers. Consequently, your product photos display incredible high-definition sharpness.
Is your Ivory Board sustainable and fully recyclable?
We source our virgin SBS paperboard exclusively from responsibly managed, FSC-certified global forests. Furthermore, if you instruct our factory to use soy-based inks and omit plastic lamination, the entire ivory board carton breaks down cleanly and rapidly inside standard municipal recycling facilities.
