Green Toolbox: Paper & Paperboard

 

Shorewood Packaging uses only paper and paperboard made of wood-based fiber from a renewable, sustainable resource: trees!  All of our paper and board are sourced from forest lands certified under the Sustainable Forestry Industry® (SFI) and ISO 14001 standards.  We use no wood from old growth or endangered forests.  The products we produce are typically recyclable and compostable.  We offer a variety of paper and paperboard choices.

Corrugated Board Options for P.O.P. Displays:

  • 200 and 225 test board
  • 200 and 250 # B, C and E-flute
  • White kraft and white/white

The primary component for P.O.P. displays produced by Shorewood Display is corrugated board.  The corrugated board produced by International Paper is an environmentally-friendly, renewable material that is completely recyclable.  In fact, 73% of all corrugated board is recovered for recycling and is frequently reused for products such as book covers and coreboard rolls.  A single fiber from a corrugated box can be recycled up to 6 times before losing strength.
