SBS C2S Paperboard Overview

SBS C2S (Solid Bleached Sulphate – Coated Two Sides) is a high-grade paperboard produced from fully bleached virgin wood fibers and coated on both the front and back surfaces. This dual-coating process delivers exceptional smoothness, brightness, and color consistency on each side, making the material ideal for packaging designs that require premium presentation inside and out.

Unlike single-coated boards, SBS C2S allows full-coverage printing on both surfaces, enabling detailed interior graphics, branding elements, and instructions without compromising clarity or finish quality. Its refined surface supports high-resolution printing, while the dense fiber structure provides excellent rigidity and dimensional stability for precise die-cutting and folding.

SBS C2S is commonly selected for packaging where visual precision, structural integrity, and a polished appearance are essential. It supports a wide range of premium finishing techniques and maintains a clean, professional look across demanding retail, cosmetic, and specialty packaging applications.
