GC1 and GC2 board
Coated virgin fibre board for folding cartons and boxes: white back (GC1) or cream back (GC2).
GC1 and GC2 are folding boxboards made of several layers of virgin fibres, coated on the printing side. Stiff for their weight, they crease and fold cleanly and take offset printing, hot foil stamping and embossing well. GC1 has a white back, for cartons whose inside shows; GC2 has a cream back, for when the back stays hidden.

- StiffnessGood rigidity for a given weight.
