Lightweight, Eco-friendly Folding Cartons with MGX’s Ultralight Cardstock
Masterpiece Graphix is now offering Masterpiece Premium Ultralight Cardstock, a fully bleached paperboard with a coated back. The material is ultra lightweight yet rigid, with high brightness and clean edges, and demonstrates outstanding embossing, laminating and die-cutting characteristics. The material allows MGX customers to create folding cartons that are 25-30% lighter than typical cardstock substrates, reducing packaging weight and consequently, lowering freight costs and fuel consumption.
Masterpiece Premium Ultralight Cardstock is well-suited for folding carton production and works beautifully for high-end applications such as perfume boxes, chocolates and cosmetic packaging. The material is available as 12”x18” or 13”x19” sheets, and in several thicknesses ranging from 8 pt to 21 pt. Masterpiece Premium Ultralight Cardstock can be digitally treated for the HP Indigo as well as other digital liquid toner, dry toner and inkjet press applications.
Due to consumer demand and environmental factors, the packaging industry is trending towards more environmentally-conscious, lighter-weight packaging. Businesses are looking for ways to lighten the load: both literally and financially. Product packaging that weighs less reduces shipping costs and in turn, reduces fuel consumption. Reducing fuel usage not only saves money, but also conserves energy. All in all, light, lean packaging has become more and more attractive to digital printers as a way to cut expenses and conserve precious resources.
Masterpiece Premium Ultralight Cardstock aligns perfectly with the aforementioned market trends. The paperboard is noticeably lightweight, with up to 30% less weight than typical cardstock. The material used to manufacture the paperboard comes from sustainably managed forests, making Masterpiece Premium Ultralight Cardstock a more eco-friendly choice for folding carton production.
