Technical documentation
Four sheets per family, each answering a different question.
The four sheets
No sheet repeats what another one covers. That keeps each of them short enough to actually read, and it means a figure is never printed twice with two different revision dates.
Spec sheet
what is it, exactly?
Owns: Internal dimensions, per size; Flat blank size and print area inset; Board grade, flute, caliper and ECT; Burst strength, top-load compression, drop rating; Maximum gross load, per size; Service temperature, storage humidity, shelf life; The SKU code syntax and every option in it; Minimum order and lead time, per size; Custom-size minimum, lead time and sample round; Palletization and pallet height; Which size to specify for a given content
Filed under Literature library
Comparison sheet
is this the right format?
Owns: The other three formats, side by side; Whether each format needs void fill; Which formats take a second trip, and how; What to specify instead when this is the wrong format; Recycled content as a band, across the four formats; Which of the four are ratified catalog families
Filed under Compare formats
Features and benefits
why specify it?
Owns: What each listing certifies, and against what test; Recycled content as a figure, by weight; Warranty term and what it covers; The end-of-life material stream; The argument for the format, in six blocks
Filed under Certification listings
Assembly instructions
how is it used?
Owns: The make-up sequence, step by step; Tools and consumables required; Make-up time after practice; Handling cautions before first use; What to do when it will not close; Void-fill method and the shake test; Blanks per bundle and the bundle wrap; Bundle storage limits and stack height; The second trip, and returning it to flat

If you are holding one sheet, here is where the rest is
Read down the row for the sheet in your hand. Every cell tells you which of the other three to open.
| Spec sheet | Comparison sheet | Features and benefits | Assembly instructions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holding the spec sheet | owns it | How it compares with the other three formats | Listings, recycled figure and warranty | Make-up, handling limits and storage |
| Holding the comparison sheet | Dimensions, board grades, minimums and lead times | owns it | What each listing certifies | Make-up sequence and handling |
| Holding the features and benefits | Every dimension, grade and tested figure | The three formats this one is chosen against | owns it | Make-up, void fill and storage |
| Holding the assembly instructions | Gross load, board grade and every dimension | When to reach for a different format | Listings, recycled figure and warranty | owns it |
This map is published here rather than printed on the sheets themselves. An index printed on paper is correct only on the day it was printed, and our sheets are reissued whenever a figure changes.
How our listings are applied
A listing belongs to a size, not to a product line. Where two sizes in a family hold a listing and a third does not, the family does not claim it. We show the difference against the size instead.
It would be easy to put every listing anyone in the family has earned at the top of the page. It would also be a claim most of the range could not support, and the sizes it does not cover are exactly the ones a buyer is most likely to order by mistake.

Why we publish recycled content twice
The band is for comparing formats against each other. It takes one of three values, 70–100, 40–69 or 0–39, and it is on the comparison sheet. The figure by weight is the claim itself, verified by mill declaration and lot sampling, and it is on the features and benefits sheet.
Every product page shows both, labelled. Merging them into one number would be tidier and would tell you less. Rounding a sustainability figure up is the one mistake in this business with legal consequences.
How we publish figures
- The mark is never recoloured, rotated, or set on a busy photograph. Three approved lockups exist. On anything darker than Paper, the reversed lockup is the only legal one.
- Kraft carries SKUs and rules. Moss carries recycled-content figures and nothing else. One accent, one meaning. A moss number that is not a recycled percentage is a bug.
- Certification badges are resolved from the SKU record, never placed by hand.
- Every dimension is stated internal, in millimeters, in L × W × D order.
- Recycled content is banded, never implied. 0–39, 40–69, 70–100.
