Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/carton/new-brunswick

<a id="answer"></a>

In New Brunswick, 1,000 folding cartons of the Medium (cereal-size box) size (30 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of CA$20.40 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates of Circular Materials New Brunswick (Recycle NB) that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

## What this page estimates for a folding carton in New Brunswick

The folding carton on this page is a paperboard box that wraps the product, such as a soap, tea or cereal box. It has one component, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Circular Materials New Brunswick (Recycle NB) for New Brunswick; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in CAD. The figures are estimates built on starting weights.

## What is in a folding carton

The carton is one paperboard component. A plastic window or a coating is not weighed separately in the starting estimate.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: carton (paperboard, 30 g).

## Worked example: 1,000 folding cartons in New Brunswick

One folding carton of the Medium (cereal-size box) size weighs 30 g in total. For each component the table gives its weight, the matched published rates, and the fee for 1,000 packs.

<a id="worked-example-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 folding cartons in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Carton | 30 g | Boxboard and Other Paper Packaging | CA$20.40 | CA$0.0204 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>New Brunswick: 1,000 folding cartons of the Medium (cereal-size box) size are estimated at CA$20.40 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is CA$20.40.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about CA$0.0204.

## Which published rates were matched in New Brunswick

One published rate was matched to the pack in New Brunswick from the 2027 schedule. Each is quoted from the programme’s own fee table; the page does not change the rate or round it.

#### Carton, 30 g: one matched rate

## How size changes the fee for a folding carton

The weight of a folding carton depends on its size. The table prices each of the 3 sizes with the same matched rates, so the only thing that changes between rows is the weight.

<a id="sizes-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 folding cartons by size in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Size | Weight each | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack, lowest | Per pack, highest |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Small (soap or tea box) | 15 g | CA$10.20 | CA$10.20 | CA$0.0102 | CA$0.0102 |
| Medium (cereal-size box) | 30 g | CA$20.40 | CA$20.40 | CA$0.0204 | CA$0.0204 |
| Large (gift box) | 70 g | CA$47.60 | CA$47.60 | CA$0.0476 | CA$0.0476 |

Each component of the folding carton priced at every size, at the matched rates for New Brunswick.

<a id="matrix"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by component and size, New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Component | Small (soap or tea box) | Medium (cereal-size box) | Large (gift box) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Carton | 15 g: CA$10.20 | 30 g: CA$20.40 | 70 g: CA$47.60 |

<a id="options"></a>

## What if the folding carton used another material?

Suppose the main component of the folding carton, weighing 30 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that New Brunswick publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, New Brunswick, in CAD per 1,000 packs**

| Material | Lowest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate | Highest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate |

## What a larger run of folding cartons costs in New Brunswick

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (cereal-size box) folding carton in New Brunswick. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.

<a id="volume-table"></a>**Fee by run size for the folding carton in New Brunswick, in CAD**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |

| 500 | 15 kg | CA$10.20 | CA$10.20 |
| 1,000 | 30 kg | CA$20.40 | CA$20.40 |
| 5,000 | 150 kg | CA$102.00 | CA$102.00 |
| 10,000 | 300 kg | CA$204.00 | CA$204.00 |
| 50,000 | 1,500 kg | CA$1,020.00 | CA$1,020.00 |

| 1,000,000 | 30,000 kg | CA$20,400.00 | CA$20,400.00 |

<a id="calc-blended"></a>New Brunswick: across all its components, a folding carton is priced at CA$0.68 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at CA$0.68 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for New Brunswick

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Circular Materials New Brunswick (Recycle NB) for New Brunswick, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="levers"></a>

## Ways to lower the fee on a folding carton

Board caliper and box size set the weight, so a snugger box that still protects the product lowers the mass.

Paperboard is usually priced on a line of its own, which can differ from the line for thin paper or for corrugated board.

A carton with a laminated film layer may be read as a composite, so check the coating before choosing a line.

Cartons are printed in runs of thousands, so a small weight change per carton repeats across the whole run.
