| GSM | Sets weight and the base for strength; state a tolerance. | Agreed per order |
| Burst factor (BF) | Strength relative to weight; the usual Indian corrugation measure. | Agreed per order |
| Moisture | Too dry cracks at creases; too wet loses stiffness. | Agreed per order |
| Reel width and diameter | Must fit your unwind stand. | Agreed per order |
| Core inner diameter | Match your shafts or chucks. | Agreed per order |
| Joins per reel | Splices cost time on high-speed lines. | Agreed per order |
Formats and options
- Reels to width

How it is made
Recovered paper is graded, de-inked and hydro-pulped, cleaned and refined, then formed, pressed and dried on automated, PLC-controlled paper machines. Reels are finished and cut to the order.
Limitations
Recycled fibre shortens each time it is reused, so strength-critical grades may need a share of long-fibre input. We do not claim paper can be recycled indefinitely.
