Recycled Paperboard (CRB / CCNB)

AI concept: white-faced board samples with grey cut edges and a folded sample.

Identify the recycled-board grade precisely

CRB and CCNB should not be treated as interchangeable shorthand for one stock. Ask for the exact grade, surfaces, caliper and documented recycled-content information. Evaluate the reverse side and visible cut edges where they affect the pack’s presentation.

Specification to review

Confirm the exact grade, stated recycled content, surface, caliper and supporting supplier documentation.

Limits of the selected recycled paperboard (crb / ccnb) option

CRB and CCNB are not interchangeable specifications. Recycled content does not by itself establish finished-pack recyclability.

Does recycled fibre content establish finished-pack recyclability?

No. The complete construction, finishes and destination requirements also need consideration.
