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.
