Paperboard is a thin and flat material in sheet form made up from an interlaced network of
cellulose fibres. It is usually made in several layers, combined together in the wet state. A
white mineral pigmented coating is applied in one or more layers, on one or both surfaces,
enhancing whiteness and smoothness and providing a surface for printing and varnishing.
The main raw material for paperboard is cellulose, the basic organic matter of wood. The
fibres are derived from different kinds of trees, mainly pine, spruce and birch. The process by which the fibres are separated from wood is known as pulping. Fibres derived directly from wood are known as "primary" or "virgin" fibres. When used paper and paperboard are repulped, the fibres are known as "secondary" or "recycled" fibres.
Paperboard can be divided into four different grades: SBB, SUB, FBB and WLC:
• SBB stands for Solid Bleached Board
• SUB for Solid Unbleached Board
• FBB for Folding Box Board
• WLC for White Lined Chipboard.
SBB, SUB and FBB are made from virgin fibres while WLC is mainly made from recycled fibres. (all information from IGGESUND PAPERBOARD AB)
Paperboard, which is a thick, paper-based, lightweight and strong material, is the main material used to make cereal boxes. Cardboard (paperboard) is a food safe material that is used to make most cereal boxes and is made from wood pulp. Main Material Options Cardboard (Paperboard) The most prevalent material used to make cereal boxes is cardboard. It is thick, paper-like and more rigid than regular paper but not as heavy as corrugated board. Cardboard is extremely receptive to printing inks and is used to print full-color graphics, logos and mascots that appeal to the consumer. Easy to fold and glue into box shapes and won't crack. Common types of cardboard: SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) – White in colour, smooth surface, it is best suited for high quality printing. Liked by high-quality brands. CCNB (Clay Coated News Back) – Clay-coated surface on paper for printing and Gray back – recycled paper. More affordable option. CRB (Coated Recycled Board) – 100% recycled fibre and then coated for printing support. Kraft Paper Kraft is the second most popular packaging for cereal. It is produced in the Kraft process, which consumes less energy, and is therefore a greener alternative. However, Kraft is commonly used by brands to impart a natural and sustainable look to organic and whole grain cereals. Types of Kraft: Virgin natural Kraft (maximum tear resistance) Natural recycled Kraft Colored Kraft Bleached Kraft Printed Kraft The key layers of a cereal box are the following: A typical cereal box isn't a simple item: Outer Layer – Top layer of paper used for bright, colourful illustrations and graphics. Structural Layer – Thin cardboard made to be strong and supportive. Inner Coating – In some boxes, the inside is lined with a plastic coating or lined in a plastic bag to ensure freshness and maintain the crispness of the cereal. This inner bag may be constructed of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner to protect against moisture. What Material Makes the Right Material? There are two main options when choosing the cardboard or Kraft – the brand positioning: Cardboard – Ideal for fun, coloured and child-focused brands. Able to support bold printing and finishes.

There are many downfalls to using cardboard boxes as storage. Cardboard boxes are not as sturdy as boxes made of other materials, such as plastic, so they can be dented, damaged, or broken fairly easily. They are also not air-tight, which means that damaging factors such as water or moths can potentially get inside the box and destroy the contents.
