MetsäBoard Pro FSB Cup is a coated food service board, available in a basis weight range of the baseboards 205-330 g/m², suitable for offset, flexo and gravure printing. PE coating is applied at the extrusion line onto the both sides.

PE extrusion coating creates a protective layer on paperboard to protect the packed product. Double coated 2PE is often used for cold cups, ice cream and frozen food packaging to achieve barrier against liquid and moisture.

MetsäBoard Natural FSB Cup 2PE uses raw materials that are traceable, safe and approved for food contact. It is recyclable depending upon local recycling services.
