What is SBS Board?
SBS Board, short for Solid Bleached Sulphate Board, is a premium white paperboard made from bleached virgin fibre.
It is available with a one-sided or two-sided coated white surface, making it a strong choice for packaging that needs a clean, bright, high-quality finish.
From a packaging point of view, SBS Board is often used when print quality, shelf presentation, and a smooth white appearance matter.
Key Benefits and Performance
SBS Board is chosen for its bright white finish, smooth surface, and reliable print performance.
Its coated surface helps support sharp graphics, clean text, strong colour, and premium product presentation.
- Solid Bleached Sulphate construction for a clean white board with a premium feel.
- One-sided or two-sided coated options depending on the required print and presentation finish.
- Available in 175 microns to 600 microns, roughly 180 gsm to 530 gsm, for light to heavier packaging needs.
- Excellent print surface for branding, colour graphics, product details, and promotional packaging.
- Good stiffness and folding performance for cartons, sleeves, cards, and covers.
- Bright white appearance for packaging where a clean, premium look is needed.
Common Uses and Limitations
SBS Board is commonly used for high-quality promotional packaging, premium cartons, card packaging, cover applications, sleeves, inserts, and printed retail packaging.
It works well when the packaging needs to look sharp on shelf and carry detailed branding or product information.
- Premium retail packaging
- Promotional packaging
- Folding cartons
- Product sleeves
- Printed cards and covers
- Luxury-style inserts
- High-quality branded packaging
SBS Board is not usually the most cost-effective option for basic industrial packaging or hidden internal layers.
It may also need extra coating or barrier protection for wet, greasy, chilled, or direct food-contact applications, depending on the product and packing process.
