What is White Card & FBB ?

In last time, we talked abut What is white card & SBS ?
Today, we are going to talking about the other one type of white card, Folding Box Board (FBB), it is also used everywhere in our life.

Q. What is white card? 
White card is a general designation of paper material made paper box.

Q. What is Folding Box Board?

Folding boxboard, also referred to as FBB or by the DIN Standard 19303 codes of GC or UC, is a paperboard grade made up of multiple layers of chemical and mechanical pulp.

FBB construction:
1 – Coating
2 – Bleached chemical pulp
3 – Mechanical pulp
4 – Unbleached/Bleached chemical pulp

Q. How FBB is made?

FBB Folding box board is a multi-ply board. A layer, or layers, made of

FBB construction

mechanical pulp is placed between layers of chemical pulp. Mechanical pulp may be stone-ground wood (GW), pressurized ground wood (PGW), thermo mechanical pulp (TMP) or chemi thermo mechanical pulp (CTMP). The top layer is bleached chemical pulp and the reverse layer may be bleached or unbleached chemical pulp. The top and reverse side may be coated with mineral pigments.

The combination of inner layers of mechanical pulp with outer layers of chemical pulp creates a strong and stiff sheet, taking advantage of the well-known I-beam phenomenon in physics. This is a low density material with high stiffness. Fully coated grades give excellent printing and visual impact. This is a virgin fibre paperboard with consistent purity for product safety.

The basis weight ranges from 200 to 450 GSM – Ideal for Food packaging, cigarettes cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and graphical applications.

Q. What is FBB common used?

The major end uses of folding box board are health and beauty products, frozen, chilled and other foods, confectioneries, pharmaceuticals, graphical uses and cigarettes.

What Is White Card & SBS ?

Q. What is white card? 
White card is a general designation of paper material made paper box.

And in this article, we are going to talk about a type of white card, Solid Bleached Sulphate (SBS)

Q. What is SBS paper board mean in the printing and packaging?
SBS, or Solid bleached board (SBB), is the highest quality and most expensive paper board substrate. It is produced from bleached virgin wood pulp.

It can easily be cut, creased, hot foil stamped and embossed. Its other properties, such as being hygienic and pure with no smell and taste, make it usable for packaging aroma and flavor sensitive products such as chocolate, cigarettes and cosmetics.

Common used of SBS are health and beauty packaging, pharmaceutical packaging and frozen food packaging.

Q. How SBS is made?

This grade is made purely from bleached chemical pulp and usually has a mineral or synthetic pigment coated top surface in one or more layers (C1S) and often also a coating on the reverse side (C2S). It is a medium density board with good printing properties for graphical and packaging end uses and is perfectly white both inside and out.

SBB (C2S) construction:
1 - Coating
2 - Bleached chemical pulp
1 - Coating
Not drawn to scale

The surface brightness is 90 % ISO – top surface roughness is less than 1.2 microns PPS – Hunter Gloss of top surface more than 75 %

SBS– Available in 200 to 600 GSM – Suitable for all types of Printing Process – Considered as premium grades for packaging and graphical purposes – Suitable for packing aroma and flavor sensitive products – In general SBS are superior when purity good appearance and runnability of the packaging material are required.

As the picture, it is the cake paper box with SBS paper material.
