Trucard

Trucard is a true carton board, made across the range on a twin-wire paper machine. That gives it high bulk, stiffness and dimensional stability, and it prints and converts well. It is rated for direct contact with dry, non-fatty food under German BfR XXXVI recommendations. It meets the heavy-metal limits of the 2006 Packaging (Essential Requirements) amendment regulations and complies with BS EN71-3 for materials used to make or pack toys.

Trucard spans 4 shades and 5 weights. Trucard 1-Gloss is 260gsm only and Trucard Ice is 350gsm only. Trucard 1-Matt comes in 260, 300 and 380gsm, and Trucard 2-Gloss in 240, 260 and 350gsm. An FSC® option is available.
