Practical questions
Before you specify.
What is the main difference between GC1 Regular Bulk and GC1 High Bulk?
Regular Bulk follows a more conventional caliper-to-weight relationship, while High Bulk is selected when greater thickness and yield at a controlled GSM are priorities.
What grammage is covered by the current regular-bulk TDS?
170–400 gsm.
Can the board be scored and folded?
Yes; the TDS specifies folding performance, while the final crease should be tested against carton geometry and GSM.
Is GC1 Regular Bulk the same as GC2?
No. GC1 Regular Bulk, GC1 High Bulk and GC2 are separate grades. Compare the technical data for the exact grade you require.
