The Benefits of Paperboard Packaging

Choosing paperboard cartons for your products means you’re opting for a sustainable, versatile, cost-effective packaging solution.

Paperboard is renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable, giving it a strong advantage over alternatives like plastic. Cartons offer many design and finishing choices for functionality and branding. This flexibility also allows for several assembly and filling options. Paperboard ships and stores flat for reduced shipping and storage costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Businesses considering paperboard boxes for their products likely have questions. Please contact us for additional information.

Paperboard is a paper product with a thickness generally ranging from 10 to 40 points. Paperboard can also be defined by its end use, such as cartons, to differentiate it from other types of thick, dense papers.

Paperboard is a smoother, lighter-weight paper product than cardboard. It is often clay-coated for exceptional printability for retail-ready packaging. In comparison, corrugated cardboard is a durable, multi-layered product often used for secondary or tertiary packaging during shipping.

Clay-coated paperboard cartons have excellent printability for vibrant, eye-catching graphics.

Paperboard is renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. The materials available at MOD-PAC all adhere to our Sustainable Forestry Policy, which includes compliance with the SFI® Certified Sourcing and Chain of Custody Standards as well as the FSC® Chain of Custody Standard.
