High Quality Clay Coated Newsback by Manchester Industries

What Is It?

Clay coated news back, or paperboard, is a sheet of white, one-sided paper with clay coating on the other side. The coating sheet is usually grey or brown and is best for printings.

Clay coated paperboards are made from a recyclable kraft paperboard material. It is renowned for its resistance to moisture and tearing. Some of its properties include:

  • Eco-friendly due to recycled material
  • Tear and moisture resistant
  • Ideal for logo printing and artwork

The sheet produces better printing and is a bit more expensive than chip or graphic board but less than solid white paper.

Applications Of Clay Coated Paperboard

The clay coated paperboard has a higher percentage of recycled material in the paperboard range. It creates a smooth surface that gives a crisp print on top with a lighter color on the back made from recycled newsprint.
