Overview

Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) is a premium ivory paperboard created from bleached chemical pulp and coated on both sides with SBS C2S, a synthetic or mineral pigment. This double-sided coating is specifically designed to impede ink absorption and ensure that printed images remain crisp and clear on the surface of the packaging. SBS C2S is recognized for its medium-density and pure ivory white finish, which makes it the perfect canvas for producing high-quality custom imagery. Moreover, it can be customized further through cutting, embossing, and hot-foil stamping, creating unique packaging designs. Additionally, this kind of paperboard is neutral in flavor and aroma, making it an excellent choice for packaging food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. With superior tear resistance, SBS C2S can also be used for various products beyond food and cosmetics.
