Board grades quick guide: Duplex (Grey Back) — recycled fibre, coated one side (LWC or HWC), 180–500 gsm; most common packaging board for FMCG cartons. Duplex (White Back) — better print quality both sides. FBB — multi-ply virgin-fibre board; best stiffness-to-weight ratio; food/pharma cartons. SBS — all-chemical bleached virgin pulp; highest purity; direct food contact; cosmetics and pharma. India produces Duplex widely; SBS domestically only by ITC PSPD and JK Paper — all other SBS/FBB is imported from Europe.
Tier 1 — Large Integrated Indian Mills

These mills produce SBS, FBK, or high-quality duplex from fully integrated operations — on-site pulping from plantation or mixed fibre, multi-product output. India's only domestically produced SBS and FBK comes from this tier.

Gujarat Cluster — Morbi & Surrounding Area
Why Morbi dominates India's duplex board industry: Morbi is to duplex board what Tiruppur is to knitwear — an industrial cluster where 40+ mills exist in close proximity, sharing logistics, raw material suppliers (OCC waste paper), and workforce. Every mill here uses 100% recycled waste paper. This keeps costs competitive but limits board purity — making Morbi board ideal for FMCG, general packaging, and standard cartons, but not for export pharma requiring FDA/EU migration testing. The Morbi mills collectively supply the majority of India's general packaging board demand.

International Suppliers — FBB & SBS to India
When do Indian printers import board? Indian pharma companies exporting to US/EU, high-end cosmetics brands, and premium FMCG clients specify imported FBB or SBS because: (1) European mills provide full migration and food safety testing documentation required by FDA and EU regulations; (2) European FBB has better stiffness-to-weight ratio than domestic duplex board; (3) Key customers specifically request named brands — Invercote, Prime, Twinpack. Import volumes through Mumbai and Chennai ports are significant and growing.
