GalleryBoard Packaging is GREEN
GalleryBoard packaging has always been GREEN and now we are making it easier for you to share that news with your clients & for them to share that with their audience.
Starting July 2007 we are marking all our packaging with an official AFPA Recycling symbol. You'll see it as a blind deboss - usually on the back panel of an item.
This symbol connotes that:
- the fiberboard content in GalleryBoard is made from 100% recycled content
- the top-sheet content in GalleryBoard uses only ecologically-friendly coatings, does not contain solvents or chlorine and is FSC Certified
We are proud to be ecologically friendly and we encourage the same from our vendors and customers. Thanks for your support. RETURN to our main web-site - www.theplatformgroupgallery.com

More information:
The Fiberboard generally consists of the following percentages of recyclable paper stock: 90% Post-Consumer Waste paper (containing approximately 40% mixed office paper, such as envelopes, computer paper, offset paper, etc;, 20% old corrugated boxes and 30% newspapers). 5% is Pre-Consumer waste paper, and 5% internally generated pre-consumer mill trim waste. Resulting in a product with a density of 3.13 to 3.5 range. There are specific FDA guidelines as to the raw materials and additives which may or may not be used in manufacture. We warrant that the fiberboard we furnish you conforms to FDA Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 Part 176.260.
The textured paper is paper mill FSC Certified. It is acid-free, carbon black free, archival, elemental chlorine-free and lignin free.
