1. Some items for food service operations and retail food packaging fall in the middle between two extremes.
They require a higher level of oil and grease resistance than traditional SBS paperboard can provide. Yet they
don’t demand the durability and moisture resistance of poly-coated SBS.
Now, you can fill this gap with EnShield kit 5 board from MWV.
EnShield board delivers significantly more resistance to oil and grease than SBS. As measured on the Kit
scale—the industry standard for measuring Oil and Grease Resistance (OGR)—EnShield board rates as
Kit 5 (medium resistance) compared to Kit <1 (minimum resistance) for SBS. So you can finally give your
food and food service customers the amount of protection they need.
EnShield kit 5 board at a glance:
• Double clay coated on the printed side for enhanced printability
• Single clay coated on the barrier side for better oil and grease resistance
• Rated OGR Kit 5 (medium resistance)
• Best-in-class printability, consistency and uniformity
• Is fully repulpable, improving packaging end-of-life options versus traditional poly-coated boards
• Has a higher trim value for scrap purposes than traditional poly-coated options
• Available for glued packaging
