Custom Kote® Paperboard

Features and Benefits

Strength and Integrity
Custom Kote® paperboard is stiff and resists rupture under pressure with its high bursting strength at low calipers for overall strength. It is tear and puncture resistant, and maintains integrity in multiple freeze and thaw cycles.

Printability
Its smooth, glossy, white, clay-coated surface allows for exceptional printing and eye-catching, high-quality graphics that demand attention on the shelf.

Cost-Effective
Custom Kote is a thinner caliper, yet, because of its superior strength, has characteristics similar to higher-caliper competitive paperboards. Lower calipers translate into a lower paperboard weight and a higher yield, reducing manufacturers’ costs.

Design Flexibility
Its strength and versatility allows for almost any type of package design, including graphics, foils, handles, windows and apertures.

Consistency
Custom Kote is uniform, consistent, and performs well during the converting process, especially in die-cutting, folding, creasing and gluing—without sacrificing resilience.

Environmentally Friendly
MWV produces Custom Kote using 3 to 12 percent pre-consumer and 7 to 14 percent post-consumer waste. And since it is made from paperboard, Custom Kote is renewable and recyclable.
