The Paperboard Group produces a fully-bleached paperboard product in an acid-free state. The following benefits are achieved:
- Longer usable product life span;
- Less natural deterioration as a result of ultraviolet light heat and time;
- Improved performance for some converting and printing processes by allowing the use of carbonate coating fillers

Paper is moisture conditioned so that it will stay flat and not develop wavy or tight edges before or during printing. Wavy-edged paper can be temporarily corrected by storage in "hot room" temperatures (100º to 110ºF) for several hours before printing, or by placing strip heaters or infra-red lamps along the sides of the feeder pile near the top to warm and shrink the edges.

For the best die cutting results, Rayonier A.M. Canada G.P. - Paperboard would like to suggest the following scoring techniques:
- To achieve a good crease profile, the female counter groove widths should be kept as narrow as possible. As a guide, the groove width should be equal to the sum of:
- Machine direction: 1.3 x the board thickness + the width of the scoring rule;
- Cross direction: 1.5 x the board thickness + the width of the scoring rule.
- (Note: 2 pt. scoring rule width is 0.028”)
- It may be desirable, depending on the end application, to increase the female counter height by 0.002” to further enhance the crease profiles.
- The height of the creasing rule is dependent on the thickness of the paperboard and the type of counter being used.
If further information is required concerning the die cutting of the Kallima® grade, please contact your Rayonier A.M. Canada G.P. - Paperboard Account Manager.
