Introduction to SBS Cardboard

HardVogue SBS Cardboard: Turning Packaging Into Your Brand's Canvas

In the world of high-end packaging, we've found the perfect blend of white paper and art. Our SBS cardboard, ranging from 250 to 1000 microns, acts as a "white canvas" custom-made for your product, allowing each package to tell the story of your brand. You've likely seen those glittering gift boxes at luxury counters or the meticulously crafted labels on high-end skincare products—chances are, they are the result of our craftsmanship.


HardVogue SBS Paperboard Manufacturers 

have created three "artistic canvases" to meet different needs:
  • Single-Ply: The choice for light luxury, offering basic yet refined protection

  • Double-Ply: The choice for indulgence, adding extra protection for valuable items

  • Laminated: The choice for premium products, offering enhanced moisture and oil resistance

This seemingly simple "white canvas" hides a wealth of surprises:

✓ 98% brightness for the ultimate printing effect

✓ 50% higher bending strength than ordinary cardboard

✓ FSC-certified, blending sustainability and quality
