Why Choose CRB Paperboard
About CRB Paperboard
CRB (Coated Recycled Board) paperboard uses post-consumer recycled fibre with a coated white printing surface, providing good print quality with significantly better environmental credentials than virgin SBS board. It is increasingly required by major Canadian retailers meeting sustainability targets and preferred by Canadian eco-conscious brands communicating environmental responsibility.
CRB Paperboard for Canadian Retailer Sustainability Requirements
Major Canadian grocery and retail chains including Loblaws, Metro, and Walmart Canada have announced ambitious packaging sustainability targets requiring increased recycled content in supplier packaging. CRB paperboard with high post-consumer recycled content helps Canadian brands meet these retailer requirements proactively — maintaining retail listings while demonstrating environmental responsibility alignment with Canadian retailer sustainability programs.
CRB Print Quality for Canadian Retail Packaging
Modern CRB paperboard provides print quality that closely approaches SBS for most Canadian retail packaging applications. The coated white surface accepts CMYK printing with good colour accuracy, sufficient for the majority of Canadian consumer goods categories. For brands where subtle grey tones or very precise colour matching are critical, SBS remains preferable — but for most Canadian retail applications, CRB provides entirely adequate print performance.
Environmental Claims for CRB in Canadian Markets
CRB's recycled content provides Canadian brands with legitimate, verifiable environmental claims for packaging sustainability communications. High post-consumer recycled content percentages can be stated on pack, FSC certification provides third-party verification of responsible sourcing, and lower carbon footprint versus virgin SBS supports Canadian corporate sustainability reporting requirements.
