Folding Box Board

Incada is a folding box board (FBB) 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 to ensure that the product family meets different end-use printability requirements.

Product description

Incada Exel is a folding box board (FBB) designed for quality packaging applications where outstanding visual impact is vital. Its lightweight construction has been specifically developed to maximise its high stiffness characteristics making it ideal for a wide range of high-end packaging solutions. This fresh fibre paperboard consistently meets the requirements for high performance in quality printing, varnishing and high-speed conversion processes.

The carefully developed coating ingredients are applied in two layers onto the print side which guarantees a very smooth surface suitable for demanding half tone gravure and offset litho processes, as well as digital printing applications where smoothness and uniform ink absorption are of prime importance.

The reverse side of Incada Exel is uncoated but has both enhanced whiteness and smoothness which can be printed to create a more natural look and feel.
