Natural Kraft

Bleached White Board

Bleached White Board is manufactured through an advanced bleaching process that transforms natural kraft pulp into a premium bright white surface. The production involves chlorine dioxide treatment to achieve maximum brightness levels while maintaining structural integrity. This specialized manufacturing creates superior ink receptivity and color reproduction capabilities. The bleaching process removes lignin and other color-causing compounds, resulting in exceptional whiteness that enhances print quality. Multiple coating layers are applied during production to ensure consistent surface smoothness and optimal printing performance across various applications.

  • Premium bleached kraft construction
  • Advanced chlorine dioxide processing
  • Superior ink adhesion properties
  • Multi-layer coating application
  • Enhanced color saturation delivery

Corrugated Strength Tests

Edge and bursting tests on corrugated cardboard

Edge Crush Test

Edge Crush Test (ECT) measures the compressive strength of corrugated board when force is applied to its edge. This standardized testing method determines how much weight the material can support before structural failure occurs. The test involves placing a sample between two plates and applying increasing pressure until the board crushes. ECT values are critical for calculating box compression strength and ensuring packaging meets shipping requirements. Higher ECT ratings indicate superior stacking strength and better protection during transportation and storage applications.

Bursting Test

Bursting Strength Test measures the resistance of corrugated board to rupturing under uniformly applied pressure. This test uses a Mullen tester that applies hydraulic pressure through a rubber diaphragm until the material bursts. The bursting strength indicates the material’s ability to withstand impact and rough handling during shipping and storage. Results are expressed in pounds per square inch (PSI) or kilopascals (kPa). This testing method is essential for determining packaging durability and ensuring adequate protection for products during distribution cycles.

What Is Natural Kraft Board?

Natural kraft board is a paperboard material made from unbleached wood pulp. It retains its natural brown color, giving it an earthy and organic appearance. Unlike bleached or chemically treated boards, kraft board is minimally processed, making it a more eco-friendly option. It’s known for its high tensile strength, excellent printability, and resistance to tearing—key traits that make it ideal for packaging applications.
