What We Offer
Fluting Paper
Our fluting paper forms the wavy medium inside corrugated boards, adding structural integrity and cushioning. Manufactured from high‑grade recycled fibres, it absorbs shock and protects your products from damage during transit. Designed for reliability on modern high‑speed corrugators, our fluting paper delivers consistent bonding and performance.
Key Benefits:
- High crush resistance for maximum protection
- Produced from recycled fibres to support sustainable packaging
- Available in various grammages and widths to suit different applications
Testliner Paper
Testliner paper makes up the outer layers of corrugated cardboard. It combines durability with a smooth surface for clear printing, enabling eye‑catching branding and messaging on your packaging. Like our fluting paper, our liners are made from high‑quality recycled fibres for strength and cost‑efficient performance.
Key Benefits:
- Superior surface for high‑quality printing and visual appeal
- Made from recycled materials for sustainable packaging
- Consistent thickness and strength across every roll

Technical Information & FAQ
What is containerboard? Containerboard is the collective term for paper grades such as fluting, testliner, white liner, brown liner and other coated papers. It is primarily used in the production of corrugated packaging. At NB Paper, our containerboard grades are produced from 100% recycled or sustainably sourced fibres.
What is the difference between fluting and testliner? Fluting paper forms the wave‑shaped medium between liners and provides cushioning and structural strength. Testliner paper forms the flat outer surfaces of the board, offering strength, protection and a printable surface for branding and messaging. Both are essential components of corrugated packaging and work together to deliver robust, sustainable solutions.
Are your papers recyclable and sustainable? Yes. All of our papers are made from recycled or sustainably sourced fibres, supporting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact. They can be recycled after use, helping close the loop on packaging waste.
