Folding Box Board

Folding Box Board Overview

YOUNGSUN Folding Box Board is a coated virgin-fibre paperboard (GC1/C1S Ivory Board) developed for high-quality printing and folding carton conversion. Regular-bulk (170–400 gsm) and high-bulk (195–345 gsm) options allow buyers to balance caliper, stiffness, print performance, and material yield. The board features a smooth, coated white printing surface on the front side with a light-treated reverse, delivering excellent brightness for detailed graphics, strong color reproduction, and premium carton presentation. It is engineered for reliable scoring, folding, die-cutting, and gluing on high-speed converting lines. Primary applications include cosmetic cartons, pharmaceutical boxes, retail packaging, food secondary packaging, and personal care packaging. Buyers can specify regular or high bulk, custom grammage, sheet or reel supply, custom cutting, and export packing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between regular-bulk and high-bulk FBB?

High-bulk FBB provides more caliper at a controlled grammage, while regular-bulk board offers a more conventional thickness-to-weight balance. The right option depends on carton dimensions, stiffness, crease design, filling conditions and target material yield.

Is folding box board suitable for cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food cartons?

FBB is widely used for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, retail and secondary food cartons. If the board will have direct or indirect food contact, or requires pharmaceutical documentation, specify the exact use and destination market so the applicable grade and documents can be confirmed.

What information is needed for an FBB quotation?

Please provide regular or high bulk, grammage, sheet or reel dimensions, quantity per size, printing and finishing process, carton application and destination port. The current minimum is 5 metric tons per product per size; standard samples are free and the customer pays international courier charges.
