Recycled Paper

Easy and economic to print and decorate in a variety of ways
The tensile and compressive strength of paper and board are highly variable, depending on the thickness, the type of paper and the manufacturing method.
Papers can be treated to improve their physical and barrier properties
Paper and paper board packages can be constructed in a variety of ingenious ways to provide strength, easy erection, filling, closing and opening means, and excellent graphic design potential.
Paper and board are inherently recyclable and made from renewable resources

Paper is highly moisture sensitive and its physical properties are reduced in proportion to its humidity level
Unsuitable for liquids (unless laminated) and heat-processed products
Easily pierced by the sharp objects in terms of toughness and it’s not suitable for sharp-edged products
