Overview
To elaborate, CCNB stands for Clay Coated Newsback and is a sustainable packaging material crafted from recycled paper pulp. The front is coated with kaolin clay, resulting in a smooth printing surface, while the backside features a brown or grey kraft uncoated finish with rough texture. The bleached front side ensures ink doesn't get absorbed into the material, guaranteeing precise and crisp printing results. CCNB is food-safe, making it ideal for food packaging, and is commonly used in the apparel industry for shoe packaging. It can be customized through cutting, hot-foil stamping, and laminating to suit specific product and brand requirements. CCNB is a pocket-friendly packaging option with a high recycled material content, making it an eco-friendly choice. For a more sustainable alternative, the Fully Recycled Clay Coated Newsback is an excellent option.
