SBS and Polymilk Chipboard Partitions
Bradford SBS and polymilk chipboard is made from fully bleached virgin fiber that results in a clean, solid white product—not just a colored top coating. The surface is smoother, making it conducive for high quality printing. The chemical formulation resists tarnishing, and because of its higher density, SBS and polymilk cut cleaner to make great looking dividers for retail, pharmaceutical and consumer products.
SBS paperboard and polymilk advantages
- smoother, cleaner surface
- conducive for high quality printing
- chemical formulation resists tarnishing
- cuts cleanly due to its higher density
SBS paperboard and polymilk are ideal for
- printed packaging
- consumer packaging such as retail, pharmaceutical
