Clay Coated Kraft Back (CCK)
CCK Paperboard - or Clay Coated Kraft Back Paper Board - is a popular type of kraft paperboard that is frequently employed for packaging takeout food, frozen food, and beverages. With a white clay-coated front side, CCK paper can accommodate high-quality printing, while the natural brown color on the back side gives it a distinctive look. The paper's tear resistance make it an excellent choice for packaging items that require extra protection. Furthermore, CCK paper is recyclable, making it a sustainable option for businesses.
Why use it
- Eco-friendly option
- Good performance in terms of moisture and tear-resistant
- Exceptional printability
- Higher recycled content than SBS
Why not use it
- This paper has only one white side, which means it is suitable for one-sided printing only.
Overview
CCK paper is a recyclable paperboard material with a white clay coating on one side, providing a smooth surface perfect for printing high-quality designs and text. The back of the paperboard is naturally brown, and the top clay coating has a semi-gloss finish that enhances the material's dimensional stability and durability. These features make it an excellent choice for packaging take-out food, frozen food, beverages, appliances, and tools.
