Does FSC paper let a Sivakasi carton printer claim lower carbon?

No. FSC certifies where the wood fibre came from and how the forest is managed. It does not state a carbon figure, so a carbon claim still needs the board's emissions per tonne from the mill and your own press energy.

What you can say

That the board is FSC certified, with the certificate number.

A carbon figure only if you calculated it from the mill's data and your own energy.

What a buyer checks

Whether the carbon figure names its source and period. A certificate logo alone does not answer that.

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads the energy invoices behind the making stage into a fingerprinted Scope 1 and 2 record, and keeps material invoices on the Scope 3 trail. Material factors come from your supplier or a named database and are labelled with their source, so the product figure can be traced line by line.
