GC2 Board

Surface Property

Printability on the top side is achieved through one or more layers of mineral coating, usually involving clay or calcium carbonate. This surface is smooth enough for high-quality lithography and UV varnishing. The uncoated back is suitable for simple text or coding but lacks the brightness of a fully bleached sheet.

Structural Benefit

High stiffness relative to its weight makes this grade a preferred choice for cartons that must survive the rigours of the supply chain without collapsing. The mechanical pulp core acts as an I-beam, providing the necessary distance between the outer plies to resist bending. This allows for material savings without compromising the safety of the product inside.

Because the core is bulky, the board provides cushioning for the items it contains. It also maintains its shape well under the pressure of stacking in a retail environment.
