Investigating the Technology Behind ‘Crack-free’ Paperboard
A lot of great things arrive at my doorstep these days. A few weeks ago, I got a great sample package from Iggesund Paperboard regarding their Invercote line of premium paperboard. They sent me some really gorgeous packaging samples — you know, the kind you’d want to save because they are too cool to throw away — and a note that said their paperboard will not crack at the fold with or against the grain, on even their heaviest 144-lb cover.
