Plastic Extrusion Coated Board (usually Folding Boxboard)
This material is a "standard" cartonboard coated or extruded with PE, PET or PP. It is used where a physical barrier is required between the product and the cardboard such as frozen products in direct contact with the board. The plastic offers a good grease and moisture barrier. This material is recyclable where facilities exist.
Grease Resistant (e.g. GRFBB, GRWLC)
A coating or treatment is applied to the board to prevent grease or oils from the product seeping through the board to the print surface.
Hard Size
This process increases the board's resistance to water absorption.
Oven Treatments
This allows the board to be grease, heat and water-resistant. Dual ovenable qualities can be achieved allowing the board to be useable in a microwave as well as in a conventional oven (220ºc).
Water Vapour Barriers
This treatment allows board to have excellent water vapour resistance. It is used in applications such as frozen food, which demands both grease and water resistance.

Environmental issues have to be at the top of the agenda for the customer and for the packaging producer. At Benson Group we believe that cartonboard represents the most environmentally friendly form of packaging available for both food and pharmaceutical product.
