Case Study: 300gsm FBB Ivory Board for Egyptian Pharmaceutical Cartons
We are a professional Paper Board manufacturer providing high-performance 300gsm Ivory Board FBB solutions for an Egyptian pharmaceutical carton producer, resolving their long-term issues with production quality and material stability.
The client manufactures folding cartons for pharmaceutical products. They previously used standard 300gsm board from another supplier, which brought two major problems:
- Unstable printing performance
- Insufficient board stiffness
Pharmaceutical packaging requires fine small-font text, large solid-color blocks and accurate brand logo reproduction. Poor-quality base cls ivory board caused inconsistent carton finished quality and could not meet standardized production requirements. The customer consumes around 50 tons of FBB per month. They wanted to upgrade to premium C1s Ivory Board Card Paper while keeping 300gsm grammage, and expected reliable OEM C1s Cardboad Paper customized service.
According to their pharmaceutical-packaging requirements, we recommended our premium 300gsm Ivory Board FBB for production trials. Instead of focusing only on grammage, we evaluated full-range material performance:
- Surface smoothness & brightness
- Printability
- Taber stiffness
- Folding & creasing property
- Interlayer bonding strength
Optimized for pharmaceutical packaging scenarios, our C1s Ivory Board Card Paper comes with complete technical specifications as below:
