Sonoco has expanded its line of FlatStack paperboard tier sheets to include FlatStack Ultralight, a value-priced alternative to lightweight gypsum and paperboard sheets.
 
“The new Ultralight option offers our customers exceptional performance for a great price,” saidMichael Krawson, account manager for sheets. “Plus, it comes straight from our paper mills, meaning we can assure consistency in quality and security of supply.”
 
The Ultralight option supplements Sonoco’s original FlatStack paperboard tier sheet. Made from 100% recycled fibers and completely recyclable, the original FlatStack paperboard sheets are a cost-effective solution that protects products on pallets during shipping, storage and retail display. Compared to typical corrugated tier sheets, FlatStack sheets offer a minimum 5% reduction in weight and generally garner a minimum of 15% cost savings across the supply chain. They also offer five times the amount of sheets per unit storage, and more than twice as many sheets shipped per truckload.
