Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or microbial growth during storage on the IDL Packaging and not on the Paper Mart.
- We flag Wax coating leaching (paraffin or soy blend) on the Paper Mart and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated where the Paper Mart is paper with wax coating (paraffin/soy blend typical), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 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: 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 →
