Quantity tolerance for board, corrugated board
± 3%

Quantity tolerance for enclosures, folders, boxes
± 8%

Weight (grammage) tolerance
± 7%

Thickness (calliper) tolerance
Paper and board up to 300 gsm ± 10%
Board > 300 gsm ± 5%
Corrugated board ± 8%

Dimensional (size) tolerance for paper and board material
Sizes with plus tolerance max. ± 7 mm
Cutting tolerance 4-sided angular cut ± 2 mm

Dimensional (size) tolerance for corrugated board
