Acquire Complete Know-how of Packaging Materials Material Guidelines

We provide rigid folding board, single- and double-wall corrugated board, kraft paperboard and a variety of cardboard stock. Each substrate can be paired with liners, inserts and finishes to suit your product’s requirements.

Recyclable mono-material films, FSC-certified kraft boards and compostable paper blends are top choices. These substrates balance durability with a reduced environmental footprint and support recycling streams.

Consider product weight, fragility, moisture sensitivity and shelf presentation. Our packaging specialists guide you through substrate options such as corrugated for heavy items or barrier films for food to meet protection and branding goals.

Yes. We supply FDA-compliant liners and food-grade board stocks that meet US and UK regulations for direct contact with edible products. Certificates of compliance are available on request.

Full-colour flexographic and digital printing can be applied to mildly textured boards, though very rough surfaces may require a light coating. We recommend a sample print test to confirm clarity on specialty stocks.

For folding cartons, we start at 250–300 GSM for light- to medium-weight items. High-protection applications often use 400–600 GSM rigid boards or double-wall corrugated constructions.

Yes. We stock films and liners with water-repellent coatings and anti-corrosion treatments. These options protect sensitive goods like cosmetics and electronics from humidity and light contact with liquids.

Modern sustainable boards including recycled kraft and mono-poly films offer strength comparable to virgin materials. With proper structural design, eco-friendly options can withstand similar handling and transit demands.

Matte lamination provides a soft, low-reflective surface that hides fingerprints and strengthens scuff resistance. Gloss lamination enhances colour contrast and creates a shiny finish but can show scratches more readily.

Foil stamping and metallic hot-foils can be used on most paper and board stocks. Some very rough or highly textured surfaces may require a primer or smoothed backing to ensure even foil adhesion and crisp detail.

Yes. We offer FFC-certified films and boards compliant with the Flexible Film Consortium standards. These materials support recycling programs and meet industry requirements for film-based packaging.
