Widely accepted containerboard standards agreed within CEPI Containerboard (formerly Groupement Ondulé and the European Containerboard Organisation).
There are no indisputably recognised, international standards for paper qualities. In Europe, however, the widely accepted standards are those agreed within CEPI Containerboard (formerly Groupement Ondulé and European Containerboard Organisation). Despite the fact that the standards are normally widely accepted, there are some important limits to be taken into serious consideration, such as:
- the development of specific grades at local level (i.e. country, market)
- particular traditions of the paper industry in certain geographical areas
- special agreements between producers and users
For these and other reasons, it is always advisable to check existing country industrial standards.
List of European grades of corrugated papers
This list covers the European grades of corrugated papers produced and sold by the containerboard mills. The papers are mainly used for the manufacture of corrugated board. The list was first defined in 1992. Due to technical and user market evolution the list has been updated over the years by Groupement Ondulé together with the European Containerboard Organisation.
