Paperboard - The Total Cost Concept

"Printers that are new to the folding carton segment find the demands on supply are more than they expected. Printing a 70 pound litho sheet is not the same as printing on higher caliper boards, especially for high-end derivative color work," said Jerome T.

"All I can say is that those who are new to the [packaging] field need to work very close with their equipment and material suppliers to get good advice," Van de Water added.
