Product Overview

This product is an environmentally responsible, high-performance paperboard specifically engineered for direct food contact and sustainable packaging applications. It combines the natural, unbleached aesthetic of kraft-style paper with certified food safety standards and complete biodegradability. The cardstock is produced without optical brightening agents (OBAs) or chlorine bleaching, preserving its earthy, natural appearance while ensuring environmental and food safety compliance.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Food Safety & Purity

• Certified Food-Grade Compliance: Meets stringent international standards for direct food contact, including FDA (USA), EU 10/2011 (Europe), and GB 4806.8 (China) regulations.

• No Harmful Additives: Free from optical brighteners, chlorine, and heavy metals. The natural color is achieved through a controlled pulping process without chemical bleaching.

• Inherently Clean Production: Manufacturing process focuses on purity from fiber sourcing to finishing.

2. Environmental Sustainability

• Fully Biodegradable & Compostable: Breaks down naturally in industrial composting facilities, leaving no toxic residues or microplastics.

• Renewable & Low-Impact: Made from sustainably sourced wood fibers or agricultural residues. The natural-color process significantly reduces water and chemical usage compared to fully bleached paperboard.

• Recyclable in Standard Paper Streams: Compatible with mainstream paper recycling systems without contaminating the pulp cycle.

3. Functional & Aesthetic Qualities

• Natural Premium Appearance: Features a warm, earthy tone that conveys an authentic, eco-friendly, and premium brand image—highly valued in organic, artisanal, and sustainable product markets.

• Excellent Printability & Conversion: Provides a uniform, porous surface suitable for high-quality offset, flexographic, and digital printing. Performs well in die-cutting, creasing, embossing, and gluing processes.

• Good Mechanical Strength: Offers high stiffness, tear resistance, and durability suitable for a wide range of packaging structures (boxes, cartons, sleeves, trays).
