Clay Coated Newsback
CCNB is a high-quality paperboard option widely used due to its high recycled material content. It is a popular choice for cereal boxes as it is coated with clay to provide a smooth and glossy printing surface. You'll find a recycled newsprint with a lighter grey hue on the back. If you prefer a more natural look, SUS is an excellent alternative. It is clay-coated on one side and has a natural kraft back.
Why use it
- Coating is smooth, bright white with a slight sheen.
- On the coated side, printed colors appear more vibrant and design details appear more crisp.
- Contains a high amount of recycled content (up to 90%)
- 100% recyclable and eco-friendly
- Cost-effective option.
Overview
To elaborate, CCNB stands for Clay Coated Newsback and is a sustainable packaging material crafted from recycled paper pulp. The front is coated with kaolin clay, resulting in a smooth printing surface, while the backside features a brown or grey kraft uncoated finish with rough texture. The bleached front side ensures ink doesn't get absorbed into the material, guaranteeing precise and crisp printing results. CCNB is food-safe, making it ideal for food packaging, and is commonly used in the apparel industry for shoe packaging. It can be customized through cutting, hot-foil stamping, and laminating to suit specific product and brand requirements. CCNB is a pocket-friendly packaging option with a high recycled material content, making it an eco-friendly choice. For a more sustainable alternative, the Fully Recycled Clay Coated Newsback is an excellent option.
