Lightweighting Corrugated Board: Reducing Carbon Emissions Without Sacrificing Burst Strength

Packaging lightweighting represents the fastest route to reducing freight fuel consumption and packaging taxes.

High-Performance Liner Substitution

Replacing heavy 250 GSM standard kraft with 175 GSM high-tensile virgin Nordic kraft maintains equivalent Mullen Burst ratings.

Scope 3 Supply Chain Impact

A 15% reduction in carton tare weight translates directly into reduced ocean container deadweight and lower freight tariffs.
