Custom Recycled Cardboard
Packaging Solutions

Recycled cardboard, also referred to as CRB (Coated Recycled Board) or WLC (White Lined Chipboard), is manufactured from post-consumer recovered fiber. Ranging from 16pt to 24pt in caliper, it provides a practical, cost-effective substrate for folding carton production while significantly reducing the demand for virgin wood pulp. The surface is coated white on one side to support commercial printing.

Brisk Packaging uses recycled cardboard extensively for folding cartons in consumer goods, health and beauty, and food-adjacent categories where a commitment to circular economy packaging is important to the brand's ESG story. While the surface brightness and smoothness are slightly lower than virgin-fiber SBS, modern coating technologies have narrowed the gap considerably — making recycled cardboard capable of delivering vibrant four-color printing suitable for retail shelf environments.

Brands choosing recycled cardboard can typically claim 70–100% recycled content and position this prominently on packaging as a consumer-facing sustainability credential. Combined with soy-based inks and water-based coatings, recycled cardboard packaging can be designed to meet multiple third-party environmental certifications, helping brands align with retailer sustainability scorecards and consumer expectations for responsible packaging.
