According to Marketing Director Tom Zumbiel, Jr., Z-View uses a lower basis weight board that is significantly lighter than commonly available paperboard. Along with design techniques to minimize material use and maximize product viewing, the Z-View concept can provide anywhere from 10 to 24 percent overall reduction in board material use.
