The FBB on the Chinese market is mainly divided into two categories, industrial FBB and food-grade FBB. According to the name, we also know that this is distinguished by use. Industrial FBB is used for general product packaging(non-food contact package), and food-grade FBB is of course used for food packaging.
FBB is a kind of thick paper that is firm, thick, and has a larger basis weight. In the past, some people planned to divide the basis on the basis of quantitative: paper, cardboard, and cardboard; in the early years in Shanghai shopping malls, the weight of white and thick paper (the surface is smooth, calendered, and the stiffness is high, some people call it thin cardboard. ), call weighing heavy paper. In fact, it is also a kind of paper jam. The most common cardboard is not colored, and it is called white cardboard. If it is colored, it is called color jam. The main purpose of white cardboard is to print business cards, certificates, invitations, covers, monthly calendars, and postal postcards.
Food-grade FBB does not contain fluorescent brighteners and harmful ingredients and can be used in food packaging and other industries. Ordinary white cardboard generally requires a relatively high whiteness, and fluorescent whitening agents are added, which are harmful to the human body and cannot be directly used for food packaging. In terms of production, these two processes are the same. Food grade has high requirements on the environment of the production workshop, high requirements on the composition of the paper, and must not contain substances harmful to the human body.
