Q - Why do some cartonboards cost more than others?
A - Generally speaking, the higher the performance level of the board, the higher the price. Factors that can affect the price of board include:

• What is your manufacturing process (e.g. speed of packing line)? Does it need to be food friendly?
• How much does the product weigh?
• Are any technical design features required (e.g. pour spout)?
• Is the product shelf stable, chilled or frozen?
• Will the cartonboard be in direct contact with fat containing products?
• Is the product sensitive to odour or taint?
• Will the cartonboard be glued (e.g. cold or hot melt glue)?
• What logistics are involved (i.e. transportation/sales environment)?
