3 DIFFERENT FINISHES FOR YOUR SBS BOX PARTITIONS

General Partition Company provides dividers to separate products shipped in cardboard boxes. Many of our dividers feature SBS box partition coating for additional strength and durability. You can keep contents separated during transit and storage and protect individual items with dividers treated with an SBS box partition finish. We also offer clay coats and other alternatives to meet your budget and production needs.

Clay Coat

Clay-coated box partitions are made out of recycled materials. This finish comes in a “clay coated two-side,” which means both sides of the board are coated. It also comes as “clay coated one-side,” where only one side of the board has the clay coating while the other side is an uncoated whiteboard or SBS. Clay-coated material works well for manufacturers looking for compact, flexible, and storage-efficient packing materials. You can realize significant freight and shipping savings with this coating choice, which is more expensive than chipboard but provides a clean and aesthetically pleasing look while being a great choice for protecting cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Poly Coat

Poly-coated SBS is a very popular choice. This coating provides some protection from moisture and leakage of products, which prevents damage to the box and its contents. Polyurethane is applied to the SBS material to protect shipped and stored items. Poly coat finish safeguards products from weathering, corrosion, damage, and deterioration. This material also comes in 2 configurations. 

“Poly one-side” has a poly coating on one side and a regular whiteboard or plain SBS on the other side, while “poly two-side” has a poly coating on both sides of the board. 

Poly-coated SBS is a wonderful choice for the ultimate protection and white shine that many companies are looking for. It is as clean and bright as any packaging material on the market. 

Milk Board

Milk board is another SBS material with a slightly different type of poly coating. The board will usually have a slightly yellowish appearance when compared to other SBS whiteboards but is white nonetheless. Milk board is a fantastic choice for food products and, in many cases, is FDA approved for direct contact with the food products themselves. We tend to recommend the use of milk board partitions for many pharmaceutical applications as well. Milk board is coated on both sides, providing all-around protection from spills, breaks, and scratches on your products.

Chipboard, Corrugated, and SBS Box Partition Finish

General Partition Company offers chipboard, corrugated, and SBS partitions to meet your production needs. Chipboard is untreated, economical, and saves space in your packaging. Chipboard box partitions provide an affordable packaging solution for durable items.

Corrugated partitions have air cells to create an additional buffer for fragile contents. Use corrugated partitions when you need maximum product protection. Additionally, adding SBS box partition coating to corrugated cardboard dividers helps contain leaks.

Solid bleach sulfate or SBS box partition finish is made from bleached chemical pulp mixed with minerals and applied in multiple layers on at least one side of your packaging materials. SBS box partitions provide a protective coating to prevent leaks, water damage, and deterioration. SBS box partition finish is an excellent alternative for durable commercial and pharmaceutical packaging needs.
