Why Choose CRB Paperboard
Custom CRB Paperboard Packaging | Recycled Content Board for Sustainable Packaging
CRB (Clay-Coated Recycled Board) -- also called CCNB (Clay-Coated News Back) -- is produced from recycled paper fiber (primarily recovered newspaper and corrugated) with a clay coating applied to the front face to provide a printable white surface. CRB enables brands to make documented post-consumer recycled (PCR) content claims on their packaging while maintaining adequate print quality for standard consumer goods applications. The material's recycled fiber content typically ranges from 50% to 100% post-consumer recycled content.
CRB Print Quality vs. SBS
CRB's clay-coated front surface provides adequate print quality for most consumer goods applications. The material's limitation compared to SBS is in brightness -- CRB typically achieves 78-85 ISO brightness versus 88-92 for SBS -- and surface consistency. For packaging where maximum color accuracy is required (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals), SBS is the appropriate specification. For packaging where adequate color reproduction at maximum recycled content is the priority, CRB is appropriate.
Sustainability Claims for CRB
CRB's recycled content enables specific sustainability claims: the percentage of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content documented through the board manufacturer's certification. FTC Green Guides require that recycled content claims be substantiated with documented PCR percentage. For brands making recycled content sustainability claims, CRB with documented PCR percentage certification is the appropriate material specification.
CRB as the Sustainability Packaging Standard
CRB's commercial position is defined by its recycled content certification -- the ability to document specific post-consumer recycled fiber percentages that enable FTC Green Guides compliant recycled content claims. For consumer goods brands whose target market includes sustainability-conscious consumers evaluating packaging environmental credentials, CRB's documented recycled content provides a substantiated sustainability claim. Brands that make 'made with recycled content' claims without substantiated documentation risk FTC scrutiny; brands specifying CRB with certified PCR documentation have the material evidence to support these claims.
CRB Print Quality in Context
CRB's adequate print quality is appropriate for a broader range of consumer goods applications than might be assumed. Standard cereal boxes, crackers, frozen food cartons, and general consumer goods retail packaging all print successfully on CRB at color quality levels that consumers find acceptable for these categories. The categories where CRB's print quality limitation becomes commercially significant are cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and premium food where exact color reproduction is a brand or regulatory requirement.

CRB Paperboard Packaging in Temecula — FAQs
What is CRB paperboard?
CRB (Clay-Coated Recycled Board) is paperboard produced from recycled paper fiber with a clay coating applied to the front face for a printable white surface. CRB contains 50-100% post-consumer recycled fiber content, enabling documented recycled content sustainability claims on packaging.
How does CRB compare to SBS in print quality?
CRB achieves 78-85 ISO brightness versus SBS's 88-92 brightness -- a visible difference in the whiteness of the printing surface. CRB's recycled fiber also produces more variable surface quality than SBS's virgin fiber. For most standard consumer goods applications CRB's print quality is adequate; for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications SBS is preferred.
Can I make recycled content claims with CRB packaging?
Yes. CRB board manufacturers provide certified PCR content documentation -- the specific percentage of post-consumer recycled fiber, documented for FTC Green Guides compliance. This documentation enables packaging claims like 'Made with X% post-consumer recycled materials.'
Is CRB less expensive than SBS?
Yes, typically 10-20% less per unit area due to lower raw material cost from recycled fiber. For high-volume packaging programs this represents meaningful savings.
