Silk® Paperboard

Features and Benefits

Consistency
Silk® paperboard is manufactured to provide outstanding ink holdout for sharp graphics and faster drying time. Silk also offers side-to-side uniformity and sheet cleanliness to help improve productivity and performance of packaging runs. The result is improved efficiencies, reduced waste and higher profits to converters and tobacco manufacturers.

Styling
Its classic white styling is achieved without using Optical Brightening Agents (OBA), ensuring a premium look that is fade resistant for long-lasting brand protection

Smoothness
Silk is specifically designed for reduced surface texture for improved results during foil lamination or transfer metalization. This supports the product positioning and look required of super-premium tobacco brands.

Durability
The unique fiber mix, finishing methods, and single-ply construction yields a stiff, durable board that produces outstanding results in converting processes, including pack formation and embossing.

Controlled Appearance
Surface topography is measured and controlled within extremely tight limits for excellent appearance and brand image.

Fade Resistance
Color fast dyes provide fade resistance for enhanced graphics, long shelf life and color integrity.
