Customization Options
Why SBS Board
The bleached, coated surface of SBS paperboard is what gives packaging that bright, clean, high-contrast look, which is why it’s the default material for cosmetics, food, and premium retail boxes.
Thickness Options
Lighter 14pt–16pt board suits smaller, lightweight products, while 20pt–24pt gives a sturdier, more premium feel for larger or higher-value items.
Finishes
The smooth SBS surface takes lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, and embossing especially well, so finishing options read cleanly and consistently.
