What is Duplex Board / Art Card Foot Board Pasting?
Duplex board pasting is the process of laminating a duplex board (a coated grey-back paperboard) or art card (a high-gloss/matte coated paper) onto a corrugated sheet. The result is a box that has the structural rigidity of corrugated cardboard on the inside, and the smooth, printable finish of a premium paperboard on the outside.
This technique is widely used when a product needs to look premium on the shelf but still requires the durability of corrugated construction for protection during transit.
