Paperboard has emerged as the packaging substrate of choice, right from consumers, retailers, and supply chain managers to marketers and designers. Using paperboard as a medium for packaging brings countless unique and attractive design opportunities both in terms of structure and graphics.
The paperboard packaging market, according to a report by Transparency Market Research, is already a massive industry and is poised for incredible growth in the near future. Valued at US$108.08 billion in 2013, the global paperboard packaging market is estimated to rise to US$181.81 billion by 2020, developing at a healthy 7.8% CAGR during that period.
The structural versatility that paperboard possesses remains unmatched. Paperboard can be scored, curved, folded, and die cut in numerous ways. In addition, it can be embossed with images, hot-foil stamped to add edgy designs, and it can be given a UV coating that adds a protective sheen and texture. Paperboard packaging is also available in a wide range of protection features such as security printing, RFID tags, holographic security systems, and tamper evident seals and materials.

Thriving Sustainable Packaging Industry Driving Demand for Paperboard
Sustainable packaging is a recent trend that has taken the packaging world by storm, driven by the urgent need to minimize ecological footprint and environmental impact. Sustainable packaging not only meets the economic and functional needs of the consumer, supplier, contract packager, retailer, and distributor, but also assists in the goal of improving the longevity of natural ecosystems.
The use of recycled materials for package components is a key factor that is driving the paperboard packaging market. Today’s environmentally-conscious consumer demands goods packaged in recyclable, renewable paperboard. Sourcing paper from managed tree farms and recycling paperboard packaging promotes a sustainable world.
