Product Overview
Single-Sided Black Paperboard is a packaging-grade board made from 30% imported virgin wood pulp and 70% selected recycled pulp using an internal dyeing process. It features a solid black surface with a black fiber core and no grey core layer when cut, while the reverse side retains its natural light pulp color. The board offers good stiffness, folding strength, and converting performance, making it suitable for hang tags, cards, notebook covers, gift boxes, shopping bags, and other printed packaging applications.

4. Will single-sided black paperboard rub off or transfer black color?
