- We flag Coating migration (unspecified additives), Adhesive residue or leachables and Thermal stability of coating on the and not on the IDL Packaging.
- The IDL Packaging is bleached paper, uncoated where the is kraft paper with water-resistant coating, composition unspecified, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the IDL Packaging is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
