What is the difference between food-grade ivory board and social ivory board paper?

Ivory board is mainly used for the packaging of high-end products, such as medicine boxes, cigarette boxes, cosmetic boxes and so on. However, with the upgrading and transformation of consumption, the application range of ivory board continues to expand. When everyone is shopping outside and buying clothes, the clerk will use paper bags to pack the clothes. Most of these paper bags are made of ivory board paper. The texture is light and wear-resistant, and can be used many times. In addition, the cartons used by fast food restaurants such as KFC and McDonald’s to hold hamburgers and fried chicken nuggets, Starbucks’ disposable coffee cups and paper cups for cola and juice can also be made of ivory board. The biscuits, small cakes, etc. packed in cartons on supermarket shelves are all widely used in food packaging of ivory board.

Social ivory board is the packaging box for medicines, daily necessities, and snacks that are common in the market, accounting for the largest proportion; food ivory board mainly includes liquid packaging boxes such as fresh milk and yogurt, and paper cups base paper.

It has excellent anti-fading ability, light resistance and heat resistance, good anti-permeation performance, good molding, meets food safety requirements, and can be in direct contact with food.
