Quick Answer

Grey board, black card, white card, and kraft paper serve different packaging structures. Buyers should match paper grade to box stiffness, print surface, color requirement, and die-cutting performance before ordering board or finished packaging.

Material Overview

Grey board is economical for rigid box bodies and backing boards. Black card suits luxury packaging with dark surfaces. Coated white card supports high-quality offset print. Kraft paper fits sustainable bags, wraps, and eco-oriented cartons.

Processing Options

Chinese suppliers often offer raw board supply plus slitting, die-cutting, and finished box examples. This helps buyers validate material performance before scaling production.
