Manila Cardboard is very suitable for the production of folders and folders, archive boxes, dividers, cover sheets, document pockets or storage boxes due to its excellent processing properties (easy to fold, high stiffness, good flatness).
Manila cartons are solid and dense. Today, it is hardly possible to distinguish them from chipboard replacement cartons. The name of the material originated from a component that is no longer necessarily used today. The strength of Manila cardboard used to result from the addition of tear-resistant fibres from the Abacá plant to the paper pulp. Abacá is also called Manila hemp in its trivial name, because it originated in the Philippines and was shipped from the port of Manila all over the world. The fibres of the Abacá leaves were mainly used for rope production, as they are not only extremely tear-resistant, but also seawater-resistant. This ingredient, Manila hemp, gave the cardboard its name.
