Key Features & Benefits
Food-Safe Low-VOC Printing Ink
Printing on outer surface only. Food-compliant low-VOC ink with no heavy metal migration, no direct contact with food.
Reliable Oil & Water Resistance
Inner barrier coating blocks grease and liquid penetration, holds wet and oily food without soaking through the base paperboard.
Good Structural Stiffness
Sturdy paperboard maintains shape under food weight, resists bending or collapsing when loaded with meals and saucy food.
Custom Branded & Themed Graphics
Fully custom artwork and logo printing for brand promotion or event decoration. Multiple printing techniques to meet different visual requirements.
Wide Customization Options
Custom size, shape, print artwork, coating type, emboss texture and outer master carton design for OEM bulk orders.

FAQ & Quality Solutions
Print ink scratches or rubs off easily
Apply surface varnish after printing. Optimize ink curing process and carry out abrasion test before mass production.
Oil soaks through the plate
Upgrade to higher GSM paperboard or enhanced barrier coating; pre-production grease resistance test.
Plate bends easily with heavy food
Select thicker paperboard, optimize rim structure design to improve rigidity.
Color deviation in printed artwork
Strict color matching with Pantone reference, online color inspection during paperboard printing.
Plates stick together in stacks
Adjust stacking pressure and anti-block treatment during plate converting.
Unpleasant odor on printed plates
Low-odor paperboard and environmental ink adopted, full air drying before packing.

Shipping & Logistics Recommendations
Printed paperboard rolls wrapped with waterproof film on pallets against moisture absorption and print damage. Finished printed paper plates packed into poly bags then corrugated master cartons, palletized for sea freight. Store in dry and ventilated warehouse; high humidity will weaken paper stiffness and cause print smudge. Stack height ≤1.2m to prevent carton deformation and plate crushing. Complete food contact test reports and compliance certificates ready for customs clearance. 24-hour after-sales support for product and packaging adjustment.
