RC Kraft is a multi-layer coated kraft board with an unbleached reverse side. Spicers highlights its strength, print capabilities, and freezer performance, noting its suitability for a range of packaging applications, including cookie dough. The board also carries a range of environmental credentials.

Allyking Cream is made from PEFC-certified virgin fibres and is recyclable and biodegradable. It features good bulk and strength, is OBA-free, and includes FDA and ISEGA certification for direct food contact. According to Spicers, the board is water-resistant due to its hard sizing and is intended for packaging applications such as confectionery, bakery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and point-of-sale displays. It is positioned as an economical option for businesses seeking packaging with sustainability attributes.

The company sources products from environmentally focused manufacturers and suppliers, with 80 per cent of its print range containing recycled content and 95 per cent being FSC and PEFC certified.
