Every corrugated box begins with the right board construction. Opal manufactures a range of corrugated board grades using kraft and recycled cardboard options, with different constructions designed to provide varying levels of strength, protection and performance.

Our range includes lightweight single-wall designs through to heavy-duty double-wall and triple-wall constructions, depending on the requirements of the application.

Board selection can be tailored according to factors including:

• Stacking requirements
• Handling conditions
• Transport requirements
• Storage conditions
• Required level of protection

This helps ensure cardboard boxes deliver consistent performance throughout the supply chain.

Opal’s cardboard boxes can be customised to suit different products, packaging processes and supply chain requirements.

Opal recycles more than 600,000 tonnes of high-quality paper and cardboard every year, turning it into new packaging products through our integrated recycling, paper and cardboard packaging manufacturing network.

The cardboard packaging we produce can contain varying levels of recycled content, depending on the strength and performance requirements of the customer. Packaging can also be designed to support customers’ recycling requirements.

This integrated approach helps keep recovered paper and cardboard in circulation and supports organisations with their circular economy goals.

Our cardboard packaging products can be designed to help businesses work towards Australia’s National Packaging Targets for recycled content and recyclability.

Our approach to sustainable packaging includes:

• We utilise a range of recycled and kraft papers tailored to your specifications
• Papers used in the manufacture of our products undergo a risk assessment as part of our Due Diligence System and Responsible Sourcing of Wood Fibre Policy
• Recycled and kraft papers produced at our Maryvale and Botany Mills are FSC® and PEFC certified*

Our end-to-end capabilities, from paper manufacturing and packaging production through to recycling, help support circular economy outcomes across the packaging lifecycle.
