Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bleaching residues (chlorine compounds, dioxins), Cellulose fiber degradation and microparticles and Bacterial or mold growth (storage-dependent) on the Pospaper and not on the IDL Packaging.
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on the IDL Packaging and not on the Pospaper.
- The Pospaper is Bleached kraft paper, uncoated where the IDL Packaging is unbleached natural kraft paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
