According to the 'Paperboard Packaging Council', Paperboard has a very high appeal to consumers, partly because of the superior printing quality. Paperboard also allows for various designs, such as embossing, foil stamping and windowing. It's also very easy to use (open and close) by the users. (Just think of opening these clam shell packages), while offeríng the full range of protection, such as: 'RFID tags', 'Security printing', 'Tamper evident materials and seals' and 'Holography'. Also for the supply chain it has some advantages: It can be folded flat, so it is cost-effective to ship. It is lightweight, yet strong, built to laser tolerances that allow for high-speed machine filling. After use it's easily recycleable und it can be made of recycled material. Even if it's not recylced, but made from fresh and clean 'virgin fiber', it's a sustainable product as almost all European and US producers use pulp from 'tree farms' where trees are planted, harvested and replanted specifically for this end use. (See also 'FCS'.) So forests are created and trees are grown for this. Mid 2008, 'Opticon' made a survey on the top brands of virgin fiber cartonboard in Europe.
