D-Cote – Heavyweight Paperboard Packaging
 |
 |
Our Heavyweight Specialty
D-Cote is a 100% recycled double clay
coated board designed with extra strength
and density for the most demanding
heavyweight packaging applications.
No one else can make this board with
the strength we deliver. D-Cote
is designed to offer a 100% recycled
boxboard alternative with superior
graphics performance to microflute
applications. It provides converters with greater strength per caliper compared
to other recycled boards, and superior
press performance when compared against microflute.
D-Cote heavyweight carton packaging is most commonly used in detergent, hardware, multi-packs and food packaging. D-Cote is available with Grade II or Grade V sizing; in rolls or sheets in 600 um/24 pt to 850 um/34 pt.

Product Description
D-Cote is manufactured from 100% post-use
recycled waste paper fibres. Approximately
65% of this post-use waste paper is post-consumer material and 35% is industrial scrap.
D-Cote features a double clay coated
surface and a kraft back liner for heavyweight
folding carton applications. D-Cote is
an ideal substrate for a wide range of
consumer packaging applications where
a kraft coloured back liner is appropriate.
D-Cote can be converted into a range of
end uses. The most common include consumer packaging for food and detergent packaging, hardware and applications where a more rigid boxboard is required. D-Cote,
with Grade II (1,200 seconds) or Grade
V (3,000 seconds), sizing is an ideal substrate
for frozen food packaging applications.
D-Cote is a denser, stiffer, brighter
and higher plybond grade of boxboard.
These positive measures of boxboard, verified by the Recycled Paperboard Technical Association (RPTA), differentiate D-Cote in the market.
D-Cote is in compliance for direct food
contact under the regulatory frameworks
of both the US Federal Food and Drug Administration
Act (FDA) and the California EPA Proposition
65. It also complies with
the provisions of the model state law,
CONEG, for heavy metal content. Metal
detection capabilities to a particle size
of 1.0 mm are available on sheeted stock.
Product
Structure
D-Cote is a
multi-ply sheet with a double clay coating
applied over a top liner of pulp substitute
fibres (e.g., recycled computer printout paper, sorted office waste paper) with
a recycled filler fibre base. The filler
fibre consists of double lined kraft,
old corrugated cartons, boxboard and newsprint.
D-Cote can also be produced with
an application of a special biodegradable
sizing agent to provide moisture resistance
to the boxboard.
