High-Quality Printability with a Natural Look
Appeal to consumers with packaging that convinces consumers that your product is worth a premium price. Sonoco makes EcoTect bending chip from uncoated recycled paperboard (URB), a proven substrate for offset lithography, flexographic and digital printing technologies with an organic look.
