Pulps used in FBB FBB is typically made of three, or in some cases four, plies. The top and back plies are made of bleached chemical pulps. Typically, a mixture of hardwood and softwood pulps is used in order to give a strength–printability combination. Mechanical pulps such as GW, PGW, TMP, or CTMP and machine broke
